Mid-America Trucking Show March 19-21/Louisville
Just wondering how many on the board are planning to attend MATS at Louisville?
Sure seems like a nice chance to get together and meet up with some fellow CAD folks? A perfect time to get together for some fun and/or settling some scores!:lol: Belpre's in for either the 20th or 21st. Anyone else planning on making the trip? Maybe we could arrange a meet up for those that might be interested? The 2009 Mid-America Trucking Show |
Some words of advice for those who are planning on going.
1. Register online well in advance. If you wait to register until you get there expect to spend a lot of time standing in line waiting to get in. 2. Wear some very comfortable walking shoes. 3. If possible try to attend at least 2 days. It is very hard, if not next to impossible to take everything in on a single day. 4. If you are thinking about staying in a motel get your reservations in NOW, the longer you wait the farther out you are going to have to stay. Many people book 6 months to a year out, and this does not include all of the vendors and other reps who attend. MATS is the largest and probably the best truck show of them all. |

Great advise Uturn. We plan on attending again. Went over last year and took the kids, it was a great time for everyone. There is plenty to do and see and I don't think anyone cold stay and see everything in just one day. We didn't make hotel reservations last year and stayed about a half-hour away. It was a very nice hotel with cafe. If your taking the kids and looking for a good place to take them to eat, I'd recomend Joes Crab shack on the river. They usually have a bit of a wait but we got a seat next to the windows and could watch the barges up and down the river and they loved that (at least it kept them entertained for a hour or so for peace and quiet.) :thumbsup:
Last year OOIDA sent out free tickets in the mail for the show. Does anyone know if they are doing that again this year? I know usually at MATS they have a discount on membership to 25$. |
