The Hoard's Dairyman Exhibitor Party has become a welcome tradition at Expo. Commercial exhibitors gathered for a night of friends, food and celebration. Guests were entertained by an enthusiastic and talented bag pipe group while enjoying appetizers.
The focus of the evening was the announcement of the trade show booth awards and to show appreciation for the exhibitors' hard work.
