Farmers Attend Western Canada's First Outdoor Farm Expo

Organizers, Exhibitors and attendees are calling Western Canada’s first Outdoor Farm Expo a success.
 
Show Manager Rob O’Conner says while official numbers are not in yet,  he believes they got around 5000 people through the gates each day.
 
He says one of the highlights was clearly the demonstrations.
 
"We're really happy with how many people are coming to see the equipment demonstrations and using them in the ride and drive programs. That's the purpose of this show, so to see this success in year one, we're on the right path."
 
O’Conner says now they’ll sit down as organizers to review and evaluate this year’s show.
 
"Exhibitors are really happy with this concept. Now that they've seen it the first time, they even understand it a little better. I've had easily half a dozen meetings in the last day or so with companies that would like to expand their space or add something, or consider some sort of a demonstration to add to their investment here at the show, so I'm really excited about the anticipation for next year already."
