The PigEasy Booth was located on the southwest wall of the Varied Industries Building. |
As you saw in Katie’s prior blog post, the World Pork Expo has been a family interest for years. I now have a different perspective on the other side of the booth.
Beyond the planning and organizing prior to, the “move in” day becomes a group effort.

So on the other side of the booth, you realize what it takes to be a vendor. For PigEasy, third time was a charm. With the debut of our PigEasy products, the first couple of years the attendees were like buying a car –“kicking the tires and looking it over”. This year, it was exciting to talk to those that have used our products and to people with a real intent.

We couldn’t do it without our leadership! |
It is great to see familiar faces and spend time with them – vendors and attendees. The food was excellent, the weather turned out great, and the attendance was a constant buzz of people. I was in a mother’s dream – all four kids were able to attend; one spouse (the other was out of state dutifully serving our country), my brother and sister-in-law, our PigEasy Board members and spouses, and employees.
As we pulled away from the four days of the Expo 2015, it made me wonder – will that young son join his Dad in his business like Ben and Katie did with us. Makes my heart swell!
