See real Amish people, new technology at the Mid-Atlantic Expo

I often find attendees scratching their heads when they see Amish woodworkers at regional and national trade shows. They are some of the finest woodworkers in the world, but they do have that “thing” about electricity. However, exhibitors love the Amish! They’ll come to shows with bags of cash and they’re ready to buy. It doesn’t get anymore qualified than that.  

The Mid-Atlantic Industrial Woodworking Expo is returning to its roots in Pennsylvania. This is the only professional exhibition directed at the woodworking industry in the region this year. In addition to more than 300 exhibitors and 3,000 attendees, there will be numerous new product introductions and series of professional seminars and roundtable discussions.

The Mid-Atlantic Expo will take place April 2 -3, 2009, at the Toyota Arena at York Expo Center, York, Pa.  Show hours are 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Thursday and 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Friday.

In spite of the changes in the woodworking and furniture business, the Central Pennsylvania region remains a strong market.
