To get into this show was hard, however we got in. Most shows we do are juried, however I have never had to furnish references and who my major suppliers are.
Here is our acceptance notice that I got this afternoon.


Hi Eugene






We just completed reviewing this round of applications, and I wanted to be the first to congratulate you on your acceptance to the 2015 American Made Show!

Your acceptance letter and contract are going in the mail this week. For your convenience, a digital copy is also attached, which you may return via email or fax. (Be sure to return both pages of the contract.)

A booth will be placed on temporary hold for you based on your application requests; however, you may view the online floor map (https://uj119.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/2671/52272e9f75414005/49365/a822dc8c2e86c8f8) to note a preferred available booth on your contract.

But first, give yourself a big pat on the back or do a little happy dance (we promise not to look). You made it!

We look forward to welcoming you to our show family.

[genek]
