Trade shows are a very interesting thing to me. If you haven’t been to one it is a sight you should see. Basically, you have a room filled with vendors of all sorts carrying their wares for sale. I have been to some in the medical, banking, and now pet industry and they are all pretty much the same. Many vendors hire “celebrities” to be in their booths to promote what it is that they are selling, others invite you to take advantage of specials only good for those days, and still others hire models to get your attention.
I like these shows for small periods of time because they give you a chance to interact with many vendors all in one place very quickly. I don’t like these shows because I think that they favor the big guys with big budgets and the flashier one’s setup is the more people they will attract; even though it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are promoting healthful products.
I guess my dog’s were the big winners in all of this as Sushi and Espy got to enjoy all of the free samples I was able to pick up!
