Nice short show today everyone. It’s been a hectic couple of weeks and now that the crew I work with is on the mend I feel as if I’m starting to catch the bug that seems to have hit our office. Hopefully it won’t go full circle. Next week is our prize pack giveaway, this time we’re giving away $100 Visa Gift card. This is my way of saying thanks for supporting the show. (Pictured is a photo of the Elevator Constructors from 1942. Get your own framed picture and at the same time support the EESF. $5 bucks from each sale goes back to the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation.)

Back from the United Show in Orlando, Florida and still trying to recover from it. I believe that everyone enjoyed themselves and had a great time.  There was so much going on that it was hard to do everything you wanted too.  Lots of great educational sessions, a huge exhibit hall with some great booths.  Plus there were a lot of people in attendance.  Good show today everyone, it’s been a while since we had some stories with meat on them! (Pictured is another Beer Prize Pack Giveaway from the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Back by popular demand!)
