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 Join us at the Beach!!!!!

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
