Football and New Items!!!

Hey Everyone ~ It has been a crazy last couple of weeks, especially with the start of the Football Season and getting ready for a buying show in Vegas baby!!! :)

Starting off, I am a huge Hawkeye Fan, I definitely have to say "Go Hawks" especially after last week's game against Iowa State. Yes it was not definitely not something to brag about because there is NO way they are in the same league as the Hawks. This weekend will show what we have going for us and what the future shows for us......

So on to Vegas.......

We left Sioux City on Sunday and headed west on Southwest Airlines and landed in HOT Las Vegas, when I say Hot try 96 degrees hot with the humidity of the midwest. Checked into our hotel on the strip. The hotel was Bally's and the rooms were gorgeous....my room rocked because I faced Paris and had a view of the Eiffel Tower.

So during the show we saw a lot of new products and placed orders for products we already stocked. Some of the new items was an automatic screwdriver that is spring loaded, wood glue from Gorilla Glue, so many new items from Fein Power Tools (small side note: after watching the demonstration that Fein was doing in their booth it really is the BEST ITEM....but only if you are comparing apple's to apple's - they were showing the FMM250QTOP with the quick change adapters against the others that had a starscrew adapters, YES there is a difference. Even Ryan (he was the demonstrator) said he would not use the FMM250START because it does not have the quick change). A few of the other items also include: Schumacher chargers, Generac Inventors, Makita's Tablesaw, cell phone cases that include Leather and Canvas, one was also for women - it had a spot for a Cell Phone, Lipstick, credit cards/ID's and don't forget a mirror. We had a very productive show. I can't wait to see all come in and get it around to all of the stores.

Next I need to share of few of the awesome pictures from Vegas that I took.

Enjoy and keep watching for the new items, I will keep you posted when the new items show up and GO HAWKEYES!!! ;)
