Howdy - quick question - what would you like to see at the Fall Snowmobile Show in Edmonton? Different features? More antiques? Fashion Shows?

Tell me what would make the show better for you!

Thanks!

Thanks for the question - we have tried earlier but the ISMA partners (Ski-Doo, Polaris, Arctic Cat and Yamaha) like our show in October, so they can coordinate their displays with other shows out west. We wouldn't have much of a show without them!

The Edmonton show is awesome!

I would like to see a bigger and better "food court" with a bar. More selection and more competition. There are food vendors that operate on the street and they could be encouraged to set up inside at a special place for them.

In the "old country" there is a concession, bar and tables set up for 150 peeps. Great place to socialize, drink a little or a lot, and release the tension(s) on the pocket book.

Just providing you with a suggestion as you asked....:beer::beer:

....... Beer gardens in one corner, and more food vendors inside the show, rather than walking a mile and a half to a tiny made up lounge that had 1 waiter and usually a 10 person line-up.
.......the aisles this year did seem to be closer together than ever -- was difficult to say the least, to walk up and down the aisles when it was busy....
.......the ticket wicket should have been on the east side of the building, but instead it was a mile and a half through the building then back quite a ways to enter the halls, once you had your ticket!! 90% or better of the crowd entered through the eastern most doors.
.......miss the saskatchewan boys, when they brought out trailers full of clearance items and "smokin'" deals:(
.......more aftermarket booths would have been welcomed
.......more amsoil girls ;) lol .... Just had to add that....lol

The sled jump team was a good draw.Amsoil girls. And beer gardens like along time ago. With beer gardens inside the show we wouldn`t have to go so far to get Summitric back to the S&M booth.

More clubs to display their stuff to all at a VERY DISCOUNT RATE. Just saying!!

What happened to all the Ssakatchewan displays.

ROYAL DISTRIBUTING would be a great draw and maybe get them a idea to open a Western Canada store.

Will post more later

Royal distributing would be awesome out here, or maybe even recreation supply out of sask.....

The sled/quad jump team was pretty kool, too

it really bothered me that the big us distrubutors wouldnt let you buy anything because they had issues bringing product over the border.

can we work with them on this?

i know there was ten things i wanted from slp but all they bring is samples

my understanding it is a logistical nightmare for our US friends to come up, I had been talking to Scott from Diamond S. He has been coming for the last few years. He said its a pain in the butt with all the red tape, and his isn't a really big outfit.
