NEW BERLIN, Penn. -- The Outdoor Hospitality Expo, which is an Internet virtual trade show and conference that will be conducted on Nov. 1-3 of this year, today announced several new exhibitors that will, in the words of Producer Art Lieberman, “spice things up!”
“We have been seeking exhibitors who have tremendously interesting items or services to offer to the outdoor hospitality industry, but because of a variety of factors do not appear at industry trade shows very often,” said Lieberman.
One such product is the portable theatrical quality outdoor cinema system offered by Epic Outdoor Entertainment. The system includes an inflatable frame with a custom printed logo and a pre-wired AV console with a professional sound system for showing DVD movies. Screen sizes range from 9-feet-by-5-feet to 20-feet-by-11-feet and during the day they can become billboards. Epic also manufactures floating signs and games for pools under its Epic MainframeTM brand. The company’s owner Phil Wagner is anxious to show the systems to attendees at the expo.
Although well known as the environmental columnist for the Campground and RV Park e-News, Larry Losoncy is president of Clean Up America, Inc., the manufacturer of the “Eloo” which are waterless evaporative sanitation systems that require no water, chemicals, pumping or dumping. Thousands of units have been installed over the years in hunting and fishing cabins, parks, schools, acreages, camps, public buildings, failing septic systems, shoreline settings, recreational fields, municipal public sites and anywhere that sanitation is needed but there is no water. Clean Up America has also appeared infrequently at trade shows.
Well known to attendees at the Wisconsin Campground Owners annual show is The Kangaroo Recreation Company, which is undergoing a name change to Eddie Cole’s Jump Shots . The Iowa-based company offers a unique and fun trampoline basketball game for young and old alike. Eddie Cole, the game’s inventor is now 74 years old and challenges younger players at live conventions. His daughter, Amy Lynch, will be manning the computer at the virtual show and anxious to try other venues outside of Wisconsin. The company already has a video presentation which can be seen at www.kangaroorecreation.com.
Attendees of the Virtual Outdoor Hospitality Show will easily recognize LCN Outdoors. LCN offers a wide range of wholesale items such as apparel, electrical items, giftware and hardware of all kinds, health and beauty and household items, to items found at campgrounds such as propane, tents and accessories and water sports and toys. All in all, LCN represents a huge number of manufacturers of goods and has become known as a “one-stop shop” for items commonly found at campgrounds.
Norman Boucher, LCN’s owner, brings to the expo a huge reputation for success and honesty in the outdoor hospitality industry. His knowledge of the industry is unpatrolled. Boucher was elected by members of the Supplier Council of ARVC as their representative to ARVC’s Board of Directors. He also served, in 2008, as the first vice president for the Northeast Campground Association.
