NEW FOR 2013!

Lake States Logging Congress & Equipment Expo Announce Change for 2013 Show

The Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association (GLTPA) and Logging Congress Committee announced that the Lake States Logging Congress and Equipment Expo dates and time have changed for the 2013 show, to be held at The U.P. State Fairground in Escanaba, MI. The expo will now be held on September 6, 7, 2013, with show hours running from Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Presidents Kickoff Event will continue to open the Logging Congress festivities on Thursday, September 5th.

“There are a few reasons the Logging Congress Committee decided to shift the dates and hours,” states Bruce “Sparky” Enstrom, Logging Congress Committee Chairman. “Most importantly, we listened to our customers, booth exhibitors and attendees, who said that a Friday-Saturday show works best for their busy schedules. It is also the most economical solution in terms of travel expenses for attendees and exhibitors alike. With the buzz already surrounding the 2013 show, anything to make it even better is a win-win situation.”
 

The Logging Congress is a 2-day expo that takes place during the Fall Season throughout the Lake States region of the United States.
