Trade
show
coming

GROWTH, NEW development
and new programs occupy a
goodly amount of time of any or-
ganization,
It’s no different with the Ter-
race and District Chamber of
Commerce. Coming up very soon
is this year’s trade show.
Booth space is going very
quickly for the annual event held
. inthe Terrace Arena.
‘Demand has becn so great that
85% of the 80 available booths
are spoken for at this time,’’ says
Trade Show Chairman Barb Kerr.
She is also Chamber first Vice-
President.
The event this year has ‘‘Small
Business - Partnerships for
Growth’? as the theme and takes
- place May 5 - 7,
This is the third year the cham-
ber has undertaken the trade show
responsibilities. This year Supe-
‘ftior Display won the bid to
prepare and stage the booths. As
the company was coatracied to do
ihe Smithers show two weeks be-
fore Terrace, the price break was
quite substantial when Terrace

‘and ultimately Prince Rupert
signed on, ;

- “Contracting out the show set

. upand details makes for an easicr

..fime for the organizing com-
mittee,’* said Kerr,

The activity in no way detracts
from other now traditional func-
.- tions that keep chamber members
_ > busy, ,

annual elections of officers, the

THE MANY businesses and
groups entering the chambet’s
annual trade show are also
eligible for awards in specific
categories. Last year, Leydi
and Doug Noble of DLN Con-
tracting (above) were recog-
nized in the service category
for having the best display. On
the lett, David Grubb and Rick
Kirkwood accepted the award
on behalf of Aiver Industries
for having the best retail dis-
play. Businesses and groups
are provided with booth space
but it’s up to them to come up
with displays to catch the eyes
of judges and the'public. ~
