This annual Fall event is the largest trade show in the state of Oklahoma and the most important event for foodservice and hospitality industry professionals. The show features hundreds of exhibitor booths, an opening night party, culinary demonstrations and over 10,000 industry attendees.
 

More than a trade show, the Western Foodservice & Hospitality Expo is a complete learning experience that improves your business throughout. From new products, to new tricks of the trade, to gold-standard foodservice education, you'll gain real-world solutions you can apply to your business immediately.

The Southwest Food Expo was in the Big D again this year. Dallas is always an exciting time and we had a great show. As usual, our Texas dealer network showed up in full force as we were happy to have them be a part of the event. See you guys in Houston next year!

We would like to thank our dealers that took the time to attend our annual Focus Dealer Conference 2008! Congrats to Scott Howell on earning the 2008 Focus Dealer of the Year award! Other award winners were Debbie Brasher for earning the Excellence in Marketing Award, Rob Winkie won Technician of the Year and Jason Berenberg was awarded New Dealer of the Year.

Matt Kowaleski and Dave North placed 1st in the Focus Golf Tournament at the Grey Rock Golf Club. Maryellen Korn won the closest to the pin contest while Nick Montano squeaked by his partner, Mike Kowaleski, for the Long Drive of the day.

After the first day of the conference we decided to unwind at the local bowling alley for some food and friendly competition. Mark Oswald squeaked by Mike Kowaleski to win the high game of the night award. I guess Mike likes 2nd place!

We would like to thank all the sponsors that helped make the 2008 Focus Dealer Conference a great success. We hope to see everyone there again next year!

We headed up to Baltimore for the Mid Atlantic Food Expo at the Baltimore Convention Center. Joe and Louie were on board to make for a great show!
