Intergroom...


I am in Somerset, New Jersey at the annual Intergroom trade show. I will be working at the German Red Clipper booth all weekend. Over 3,000 groomers are expected to attend this amazing show, and I get to be a part of it. It is very exciting!
It is interesting to watch the show set up... imagine a cavernous building, a huge, echoing, empty space. Then imagine hundreds of people coming in with boxes and carts and STUFF. Soon, neat rows of booths appear, complete with a myriad of colors. There is hustle and cursing and laughter and shouted greetings. After a few hours, the work is complete, and a small city of shops is set up where there was nothing. Tomorrow people will pour in, there will be noise and excitement and energy. There will be glorious dogs and people giving their all as they compete. And at the end the process is reversed, and the building is soon an empty shell again. Until next time...
