Many of our industry sponsors look at this trade show as a money making mini vacation that the whole family will enjoy.

"I brought my wife and grandson last year and we all had a great time plus I sold some equipment making it a fun and profitable weekend event."

Greg Sangster, Westcold/ Integrated Marine Systems

"My wife and I stayed at the historic Hotel Elliot and met several other industry sponsors that were staying there. I also sold some marine engines and made some good conections for future sales. We'll be back next year for sure."

David Rowland, Klassen Engines
