When the dust settled on the last day of the 15th Mid-South Forestry Equipment Show, staged a few miles south of Starkville, Mississippi September 19-20, the consensus among exhibitors, attendees and sponsors was that it was an exciting high-octane event, one distinguished by smiling faces, enthusiasm, and a sense of restored confidence in the forest industry. Total attendance was just north of 6,600, a record for the nation’s longest running live forestry equipment venue, according to Misty Booth, Show Manager and Mississippi State University (MSU) Forest Supervisor. This number included 400-plus students present on the show’s first day. Booth reported that 80 exhibitors, a number just shy of the record set in 2006, participated. Several reported making sales and many developed strong leads.
