The 34th edition of The East Coast Sawmill Logging & Equipment Exposition—The Richmond Show—drew enthusiastic crowds May 16-17 at the Raceway Complex in Richmond, Va. While an economic recession was still being felt two years ago here, showgoers this year seemed to be more concerned with kicking tires, scoping out and sitting in the equipment at exhibitor booths. From Tigercat, Caterpillar and John Deere to Bandit Industries and Pitts Trailers, the major companies and their regional dealers were on hand. EXPO Richmond is the largest show of its kind on the East Coast, with about 225 exhibiting companies representing not only logging interests, but lumber and pallet manufacturing, trucking and other forestry markets. Susan Jennings, show coordinator and president of Virginia Forest Products Assn., reports the show received an excellent response from attendees and exhibitors alike.
