We would love to attend, but we are always extremely busy when the event is held in October. Lawn app's, aerations, tree feeding, etc.....trying to get everything done before the snow flies. If the event was held after Thanksgiving, we'd be able to attend.
I would like to see it held in winter somewhere in Florida or the Carribean...Puerto Rico?
Anybody else who can't attend cuz you have to work? rscvp, thanks

It would not matter when it were held for me. I would have to schedule time off and get someone to cover things. The good news is, I am in Ohio. A day trip is not out of the question

I couldn't go that time of year either. Winter would be MUCH better.

I can't attend due to being to busy. I wish I could. It looks like a really good time.
you all are not special everybody is busy, you make the time to do it, take the time to look around you and enjoy things.

Not saying I'm special but I don't have the time right now to fly or drive to Kentucky and hang out. Believe me I wish I could.

I'm going to EXPO for the first time in several years. Way back when it was held at the end of July and that was the last time I went. Normally the work would slow down and I could schedule the trip. I would even take employees as a type of bonus. We would go every year. It's a 7 hr trip for me so that's two day's min. When they moved EXPO to Oct. it really killed my willingness to go. I don't know the numbers but I think they want dealers more than LCO's. Oct. is better for the Manufacturers and dealers to display and see new product's. EXPO must know Oct. is a bad time for LCO's to come to their show. But from the amount of junk mail and email's EXPO sends I could be wrong.

Your not special because you are not as busy as everyone else.
I am jam packed in October also, otherwise I would be there.
