TRANSCRIPT
Dear Exhibitor, November 27, 2019
2018 is just about over and I know that many of you
schedule your state shows this time of year. Our 2019
Trade Show will be held at the Orange Beach Event
Center, Orange Beach, Alabama on March 14th &
15th. We had the show at the University of West
Alabama in Livingston for the past four years. We
have decided to make a change and take it South in
2019. The classes and exhibitor space will be superb
at our next show. Exhibitors will have 8x8 booths just
outside the classrooms. This should provide good
“traffic” for our exhibitors. Some equipment can be
parked on the inside depending on space. There will
be plenty of space just outside the front door of the
event center and we will provide “tailgate” tents outside. Sherry Bradley (ADPH) will send as
many of her folks as possible and we will try to get the Engineers that specialize in wastewater to
Orange Beach. I expect that our turnout of licensees, engineers, and environmentalists will be
much better than last year.
World renowned Chef Alan Nipp from Infiltrator will coordinate with us again this year for a
superb dinner. AOWA will provide entertainment during the dinner. We will have lots of
drawings and games such as an excavator rodeo. All in all, our show should be exciting and a
lot of fun and more productive for you.
We have blocked a limited number of rooms at the Springhill Suites. Reservations should be
made as soon as possible and our block of rooms will “expire” 30 days prior. When you call for
reservations, use Frost as the “password” to get one of the blocked rooms. There are many
accommodations in the local area.
I sure hope to see all of you in Orange Beach. I have included the shipping information in this
package for all displays. Please call if I can be of any help. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Charles Hall Executive Director
