Meet Me In ChicagoBy pmihalek

Can you believe the IGC Show is less than a week away? Hopefully I’ll see you in Chicago. I’ll be on Monday’s Chicagoland Garden Center Tour to kick things off.

As for the actual trade show, I have some homework for you. I want to know the one (or more) product(s) from the trade show floor that caught your attention … enough so to consider carrying it for next spring. Whether you stop me on the show floor or email me when the dust settles after the event, be sure to fill me in.

And for you IGC Show vendors out there, if you have something you want me to see, hit me up (aka email me ) and let me know your booth number.

Finishing Touches

Thanks to a couple awesome sponsor-supplied prizes and your participation, this year’s Merchandiser of the Year has experienced its highest number of entries to date. That said, the competition is currently in the final stage of picking a winner — something you’ll find out in our September/October issue. Have you had a chance to see our final four? If not, check their entries out here.

And stay tuned next month when we announce the big winner.
