Major vendors skip Expo 96, claiming show is losing focus, venue 'worn out.'(13th Annual International Lawn, Garden & Power Equipment Expo in Louisville, Kentucky)
Article Abstract:
The 13th Annual International Lawn, Garden & Power Equipment Expo held in Louisville, KY, was skipped by at least three key outdoor power equipment makers, including Snapper, Echo and Stihl. Some of the companies argued that the show had lost its focus by catering to big-box merchandisers, while others said that they were tired of the venue, noting that they kept seeing the same attendees every year. Some suggested moving the venue around to attract a more diverse range of vendors.
