Hello All,
Hope you are all getting ready to attend the Long Island show on November 16th. Everyone was so disappointed last year after our show was canceled due to Sandy. Freeport did an amazing job getting back on track, with the hotel, Rec Center and restaurants being back in business. We are hoping this will be the best show ever and that all will attend. I am attaching the show update so everyone has the latest information on awards and special events.
see you soon!
Greg
