Testimonials - "The seminar was extremely informative. The quality of instruction and the manner in which it was presented was very professional. Joe started work on the saddle and was able to explain each step as he went along. He demonstrated a number of skills and mechanics theat saved time but in no way decreased the quality of the sadddle. He aslo showed us different ways to save time and gain the same results. Joe has a great deal of knowledge and expreience that he is more than willing to share." - Joe Marshall Marshall Saddles Cedar City, UT

This trade show is targeted to both the small Boot and Saddle shops as well as the Western Wear Stores. We look forward to having a very diversified show for both the small and large stores. We have 20 Exhibitiors showing this year.

We will be drawing our customers from in Southern Oregon, Utah, Nevada, Southern Idaho, Wyoming, Northwest Colorado, with customers coming from New Mexico, California and other states as well. We expect the first show should draw at least 200 to 300 wholesale buyers and will grow from there. The people in this area have not had a trade show this close to them ever!

Capriola's will host an open house and get together at their store in Elko Friday night for all our customers and exhibitors from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM?

Spring Creek Ranch Hand Rodeo Satuday night and Sunday!

Elko has an Airport and connecting flight can be arranged through Delta Airlines.

This trade show will have 25 to 30 Exhibitiors showing their products.

If you are new in the business and have been looking for new suppliers, this is the place to go. For the old timers this is a great show to talk to your exsisting suppliers and see whats new and different in the Western industry.
