2024 Winter Expo on November 2-3, 2024 / images by Dave Kraus
Thanks to Dave Kraus / Kraus Grafik for these great pics of the 2023 Adirondack Sports Winter Expo. Are you in one?
The Adirondack Sports Winter Expo made a successful return in 2022-23 with “great, super organized shows” at a “very nice venue.” We had a “great turnout” of active adults and families – “a lot of skiers.” Exhibitors were “very happy” with the “great flow” and “steady traffic all weekend,” and the “high-quality, interested” crowd - and we’re excited for a wonderful 2024 Winter Expo!
Attendees liked the “perfect mix of vendors,” and everyone appreciated inexpensive admission and free convenient parking – “a huge plus.” As a ski shop owner said, “it’s great to have the show back,” and a ski resort operator added, “great job keeping it alive and growing it!”
We look forward to further growing the Winter Expo size, interactivity and scope of vendors, and seeing you on November 2-3!
