I like to go to as many fairs as possible, any dates ready by now?

Thanks, need to shop tickets for transport as early as possible to get the best deals!

Are you referring to comsumer shows?

The Hockey Show & Sale is a consumer show in Winnipeg, September, 9-11: The Hockey Show. That's not 2006, but you can visit their website occasionally to see if they hold one in 2006.

Let's Play Hockey has their consumer Expo in St. Paul, March 10-11, 2006, and their retailer tradeshow in Las Vegas January 9-11, 2006.: Let's Play Hockey Expo

Based upon the companies exhibiting, the IHIA's One Goal show will probably be the larger show for retailers in Boston, January 7-9, 2006. I can't find the link to their website at the moment.

Hockey Expo New Enlgand is having a consumer show in Worcester, Massachusetts (forty minutes outside Boston) during the NCAA regionals, March 24-25, 2006: Hockey Expo

Last one I'm aware about is "IceHockey World" magazine staged a consumer show in Toronto and he's talking about making it an annual event: IceHockey World. The same thing as the Winnipeg show: periodically visit their website to see news about a 2006 show.

I just heard that Overtime Shows cancelled their show in Winnipeg due to a bad storm ripping off the roof of the red river exhibition hall.

The http://www.omha.net/has a show each year, beginning of June in Toronto. It's a decent size...

Those are the same days as the trade show, please don't tell me it's going to be open to the public. It's hard enough to get any business done at the show.

That IS the tradeshow.

That's what I thought at first. The "visitors" thing threw me off.

According to Ron Bourdeau of Got Puck? Promotions (producer of the Hockey Expo New England), city/county/state/whatever ordinance prevents any consumer shows from being held at the new convention center where the tradeshow will be.

He's spoken to Bill Hattem of the IHIA a few times and the IHIA is aware of that. So, you're safe! :D

Thank god, the Toronto show last year got overrun with kids later in the day.
