For my first time attending, it was absolutely great. I'd say I did pretty well with what I found. I didn't get too much, but only because I only got things I need, and stayed away from the "want but don't need" items (otherwise I would have spent way more! :-)). Already looking forward to next year!

Steve, I didn't see anything, but I didn't really check out the TCS booth too carefully.

Well played, Doug. I know I'm a little late, but again, congratulations to ARS for another fine show. It really only does get better every year. And I was pleased that several organizations I am involved with were the beneficiaries of the ARS Heritage Grant... Folks, don't forget that the ARS sponsors many preservation projects throughout the region, a direct result of your attendance at the show! I can't think of anything better...

It was also nice to see everyone again, and thank you to everyone who stopped by the Carstens booth to say hello.

See you in 2013!
