Dear Mike,

Just a quick note to thank you for allowing Valley Cycle & Motorsports to participate in the 2006 Sportsman & RV Show. All of your people are very polite & always willing to help. We look forward to the Sportsman & RV Show every year, it is by far the best show we do. We have customer's come in for weeks after saying they saw us at the show. So once again we would like to thank you for allowing us to participate and we look forward to the 2007 shows.

Sincerely,

Bill Abshier

Dear Mike,

We are enjoying a great sucess and response from our exhibit at the Fresno Sports Show, held in March 2006. We wanted to expand our hunter base and increase our sales in the central valley area, and Bakersfield Show, and the Fresno Show, have helped us accomplish that tremendously. The great attendance, and the market provided at your shows will keep us coming again and again. Thanks So Much!

We were very pleased to be a part of the Bakersfield Sportsman Show  last March. It was a well organized operation. Everyone involved in running the show were both helpful and professional.

Each of the buildings had special attractions to draw the public to the vendors booths. Some of these included hunting dog demonstrations, fly fishing lessons, fly tying demonstrations and archery lessons. Our particular building housed the kids trout pond. It was a big hit. We were able to book several dates to do promotional presentations at fly fishing clubs and other businesses.

We feel it has really paid off this summer's packing season. We know our increase in business this summer has a great deal to do with the contacts we were able to make
at the Bakersfield Sportsman Show. Many of our new customers have stated that they met us at the show. Several people who had never heard of us before have come to the packstation and enjoyed the unique services that we offer.

Dan and I are looking forward to once again
promoting our business at the
Bakersfield Sportsman Show.

Mike & Bob: Once again the 2004 RV and Boat show was fantastic! On behalf of the Taft Sportsmen’s Club, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for inviting us to help out again this year at the trout pond. Some of the kids had never even caught a fish before, and they were really excited to catch that first fish. All of us that participated in this event really enjoyed working with the kids, and we’re glad that we could be a part of your show.

This event takes a lot of effort and time on your part, and our thanks go out to you and your staff for another great show. Your efforts haven’t gone unrecognized, and we hope to see you again next year.  Thanks again.

Sue Brown, Secretary,
Taft Sportsmen’s Club

Dear Bob: Congratulations to you and Mike Hatcher for a successful show this weekend at the Kern County Fairgrounds. Judging from the number of people visiting our booth, the attendance for the show should be quite high. At times, we are caught up in the more humdrum paperwork portions of the job. Shows like this one give us the opportunity to talk with the users of public lands, to gain their ideas and to resolve their concerns.

I enjoyed the weekend and picked up some valuable information along the way Thanks again for your help. Good luck in the future.

Central Valley Sportsman Show: T & T Liberty Safes has been a vendor at the Sportsman RV and Boat Show around the last four years. The attendance has always been good because of the amount of TV, Radio and Newspaper advertising that Mike and Bob do to promote the show.
We have always had good results with our product at the shows, even after the show people remember seeing us there, so when they are ready they come to our showroom for one of our Safes. These shows make a great outing for
the family, enjoyed by Mom, Dad and the kids.

Deanna and Dirk Turner, T & T Liberty Safes

To Whom It May Concern:
Morgan Chiropractic has participated in the Sportsman Boat and RV show for the past three years and can’t wait tell next year. We provide spinal screening to inform the show attendees what about chiropractic care is about and how it can help them. Last year we screened more people that the last two years indicating attendance is up.

We would highly recommend this show to any business looking for a captive audience to promote their business. I would like to personally thank Mike Hatcher and Bob Morrison for giving us the opportunity to promote our business at their show. We look forward to continued participation in your show.

Congratulations on arranging another great show. For the last four years we have had a booth in your Central Valley Sportsman, Boat and Recreational Vehicle show. The exposure that we have received from having a booth at your event has been very successful.

Over the years, many people have come into our business as a result of seeing our product at your show. Thanks to everyone that has made the show grow and thrive each year.

Year 2005 show was great, our sales were excellent, and each year has been better than the year before. Looking forward to the 2006 show, since dates are earlier in the year we believe your show will be one of the biggest shows of the year for us. Your top quality vendors and terrific advertising will continue to make the show grow every year.

The friendly atmosphere your show creates makes it a pleasure to participate as a vendor.

Darrel & Bonnie Herrick, Country Reflections

Dear Mike: This year’s show was truly spectacular and has been very beneficial to our company. Months before the show I had people calling to see if we were going to be there this year.

Many people stopped by our booth to say, “I am so glad you are here again. I lost your information and wanted to start getting my pet food delivered to my home.’’ Thank you for reserving the same location for our booth. It really helps people find us again. People remember seeing you in a certain spot and they come back again year after year to see what’s new and to say hi.

This show continues to provide great networking opportunities for any type of company. As you walk through the show you can converse with the vendors around you, swap stories and exchange business cards. I hear you have changed the month for next years show and added one more day. That’s great!! Sign us up to reserve our spot. We look forward to working with you again.

I also could not have been happier with the amount of guests that attended this three day event. I appreciate all that was done and we at Valley Boats look forward to seeing you next year and the years to come. Thank you
