Northwest Grooming is Almost Here!
The 2012 Northwest Grooming Show is almost here! The support of groomers in the Northwestern U.S. and western Canada has been extraordinary and the number of attendees has risen every year. (Due to that support, each year the show has grown larger with more events, speakers and classes in grooming competitions.) Last year, a creative grooming competition was added to the show's line-up.
Todd Shelly, Barkleigh President, remarked, "Last year's Creative Contest was probably the most fun I've seen in a competition. The contestants had so much interaction with the audience that everyone had a very memorable, great time!" As for the continued growth in attendance at the show, Shelly stated, "If we see a significant growth in attendance again at this year's show, we are planning to add a day to the 2013 show."
The 2012 Northwest Grooming Show will be held March 16-18 in Tacoma, Washington at the sophisticated Murano Hotel and Convention Center. Last year, the 2-day trade show event welcomed 650 pet care professionals and 26 pet industry companies. This year an even larger turnout is expected.
The 2012 show will feature live grooming demonstrations and seminars on grooming, business management and pet health. A number of the nation's leading groomers and pet care professionals are scheduled to appear including; Teri DiMarino, Jay Scruggs, Donna Owens, Diane Betelak, Kathy Rose, Kendra Otto, Michell Evans, Joe Zuccarello, Dan Williams and Ken Griffith. Some of the various seminars being offered are; Scissoring Techniques (Pomeranian demo), Fast & Easy Trims, Drop Coat breed, Mixed Breed Extreme Makeover, Basic First Aid seminars for both Puppies and Seniors, Brusher Bather Certificate Program, Health and Care of a Double Coated Breed, High Velocity Dryers, Up-Selling Made Easy and Let's Groom the Schnauzer.
The show will also be home to the exciting Poodle and All Other Purebred grooming competitions, plus the crowd pleasing Creative Styling competition. The Northwest Grooming Show will be a great opportunity to learn about new products and even better; save money on supplies and equipment! Exhibiting companies offer outrageous show pricing and have their latest equipment on site to demonstrate.
