I live less than an hour away and I don't think I am going to the MWBS.
It's not worth my money. Last year I went to HRTE instead.

but......
There has been a boatload of stuff on the news here in Chicago. A lot of
trade shows are bailing out here because of the high cost of doing business
at McCormack Place. It supposedly is 3 times more than other states with the
unionsstating the laws for setting up the booths. What was once $1000 for a
booth is now 5 to 10 thousand. Thats whay and I know those of you that are
going to the MIswest willrealize a ton of vendors will not be there this
year. SAD

The Chicago show is just not for nail techs
anymore....I was sooooooo disappointed last
year. The only reason I go is that our owners
pay for our room for 2 nites, so hang with the
sylists..........Hope to hook up with some of you
again this year, but nail classes and
distributors are far and few between.........diana from indiana
