1) There were actually MORE tables sold for the 2016 convention than we had in 2015

2) There were actually MORE dealers at the 2016 convention than there was in 2015

3) There were actually MORE Banquet attendees than there were in 2015 or even 2014

4) Yes overall attendance was down from 2015 but it was only by 4%

5) The 2016 Banquet Speaker was one of the best I can remember and everyone I talked with thought so.
I have also heard from many people that they were sorry they missed it and planned on attending in 2017.

6) You cant believe everything that people post here as some of it is completely untrue and not based on fact.
How can anyone take seriously a critique of an event that the person writing it didn’t even attend?
That’s no different than me writing an article telling everyone how bad the Cher concert was when all I had
to draw information from was what a few other people told me.

7) "South Pointe" is spelled South Point.

8) Jim, I say this with all due respect and as a friend, but when you start a sentence with "I don’t Like to brag"…… Come on now, even you don’t believe that. You have done exactly that in just about every post you have ever made.
It actually made me laugh to read that statement.

9) Many of the dealers I spoke with said they did better than they expected and a few even told me they had the best sales in several years. Now I admit not EVERYONE felt that way but there were numerous dealers that would not agree with the statement that dealer sales were down.

10) I have no idea why you would make a statement that moving the location cant be a good sign.
More facilities with easier access, less cost so that means we can keep dealer table fees down and it was the best of all the locations we looked at. I see LOTS of positives for the new location.
