The East Coast Sawmill and Logging Equipment Exposition—aka the Richmond show—took place at the Richmond Raceway Complex on Friday, May 13 and Saturday, May 14. This year was the 35th edition of the biennial show, held in even-numbered years since 1946. The Richmond Expo is co-sponsored by the Virginia Forest Products Assn. and the Cooperative Extension Service at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Touting itself as the country’s leading forest products industry trade show, Expo Richmond featured static and a few active equipment displays on the 12 acres of outdoor exhibit space alongside dozens of indoor exhibit booths. All the usual suspects were well represented.
