The final numbers are in for the 2017 Louisville Manufactured Housing Show, and they show another increase in attendance.
“We had 1,933 people representing 753 companies in these four categories. If you add in the additional representatives in these categories, it comes to 346 more people in 2017 than came in 2016. This is a significant increase from one year to the next,” Dennis Hill of Show Ways Unlimited, Show Coordinator told MHProNews.
“In addition, if you add in the exhibitors and special guests, our total number comes to 2,929 individuals representing 962 companies. I think everybody would agree that this year’s show was a success. The degree of enthusiasm was most rewarding. We are looking forward to the 2018 show. Again, thanks for your continued support for the Louisville Show. Without you, nothing happens!”
“Manufacturers gave the show a solid B (on an A to F grading scale),” outgoing Show Chairman, Ron Thomas Sr., told MHProNews.
The show was an improvement over last year, exhibitors told MHProNews, but still not what the show was like 15 or more years ago. Exhibitors agreed that the show traffic was up over 2016, some said, due in part to the improved weather this year over last.
The total number of homes on display was down slightly from the prior year, but the feedback from attendees on the models on display was routinely positive. ##
