Exhibitors and attendees were heading home Friday from the Louisville Manufactured Housing Show. Promoters indicate the event was a resounding success with nearly 1,000 attendees. MHMSM.com Publisher and Marketing Director L.A. ‘Tony’ Kovach reports that “homes were sold, exhibitors were overall happy; attendees were in a good, upbeat mood.” More information and videos from the show are available at http://www.mhmsm.com/blogs/tonykovach/last-day-for-louisville-show
