While I would love to be in Louisville this week, the doctor's have decided that three full days of walking all over the KFEC concrete floors would probably put me back in the hospital and reverse the progress I've made over the past two months.

Louisville is a vibrant atmosphere and I'm like a kid in a candy store at this wonderful event.  I sincerely hope that the challenges and devastation that our industry has struggled with this year can be set aside for three days.

As the president-elect establishes his new cabinet and the current president continues to address the financial meltdown in our country, we hope and pray that our dealers and manufacturers will find a lot of positives at this year's show.

For those of us who will not be there with you, I would encourage those of you who will be in attendance to contribute to this blog during the week and let us know about the exciting new products that you find on the show floor.

This is the industry's week to celebrate the benefits of the RV lifestyle that campgrounds, dealers, suppliers and manufacturers bring to millions of people each year.  You should all be proud of the role you play in the RV industry. 

Get excited again and have a great week in Louisville.  Let's hear what you think of the show.
