Donald R / D.W.Ridzon & Sons / New Springfield OhioI have been going there many years and watched this show grow to its size and it will continue to grow as its the best show going. Even some of my business associates agree that if you don't make it at Louisville MATS your are wasting time and money going to other shows. I am a 55 year veteran owner operator and at my age still driving part time. Keep up the good work with the show an I will see you march 2011.
