National Western Stock Show 2012

[mlapaglia]

I live in denver and have never been to the stock show. Is there anything there for a leather worker to see in regards to leather, tools, stamps, etc? Im hoping that somewhere inside this huge show is a trade show for leather workers and suppliers.

Anyone been there and know anything about it?

Michael,

I've been a part of the NWSS for many, many years in various capacities, and to my knowledge there is no trade show strictly for leather workers. However, there are some booths that feature custom leather work, and some of those guys are pretty handy.

Thanks for the info.

Is it worth my going to see it? Livestock doesn't interest me unless its on a plate I like horses but couldnt make a day out of looking at them. Are these booths in the same general area or spread all over? I am not able to cover great distances anymore.

Do we get any shows in Denver in 2012 that are what I am looking for?

They seem to be spread all over. There may be some sort of show in the Denver area at some point. You might try looking down at the bottom of LW and see what's available. I know there's an awesome show in Sheridan, WY in the spring time.

most of the booths are in the main expo building at the stockyards, there are some more just across the way at the other arena where many of the shows take place and where they keep the draft horses, i cant remember what its called, theres a few in other places at the stockyards too but thats where the majority of the custom leather was
