The Small Business of the Year breakfast is a great way to kick off the Business Showcase.

We're fortunate to have a lot of good employees, which helped us (earn) the Small Business (of the Year) Award, because of the customer service we provide.

This is a showcase. Kids train all year to come here and compete. The meet gets washed, and that's the last chance many of them will have to come here. Seniors could have (had) a breakout run here.

It's an opportunity to see several hundred people in one working day, which is not obviously something you can do with your regular customer base. And it's an opportunity to show off your latest products.

It's well worth people's time to spend a few hours and see the latest -- for today or ideas for the future.

They have a showcase every year and you get to see snippets of the shows. We saw parts of all of the shows we booked, and they're great.
