Indiana Hardwood Lumbermen's Association

I went to Indianapolis for the 111th Annual Convention and Expo for the Indiana Hardwood Lumbermen's Association Feb 4-5 at the Hyatt. The theme was "Go Hog Wild." The chairman for this year's convention was a Harley rider. The exhibitors were set up in Rumble Alley, showcasing their products and services. For $50 a ticket, you could enter in a drawing for a 2009 Fat Boy Harley.

Gordon Overbaugh from Breeze Dried Inc, Canada, joined me for a photo of my booth.
