Shows

March marks the beginning of our travel season. Thank you to everyone who came to see us in Peterborough last weekend. The Paris show is usually at the beginning of April, however with Easter falling on that weekend, the show is happening a week earlier this year.

You can see all the shows we will be participating at by clicking on the "Trade Shows" tab on our website. Some of the dates are tentative as we await for show contracts to arrive. We hope you are able to come and see us at one (or many) of our shows this year. We always love to see familiar faces and meet new people.
