Busy day today. I do not think I have had to wait for 20 minutes to get to a parking spot in all the years I have attended the OFS! Best weather I can remember and good conditions at the site. Nice talking with the Farms.com team today (Andrew and Todd) and if I wasn't carrying our youngest child I could have tripped Joe as he walked past :-)! Then again I wouldn't want to do that to a young guy like Joe.
Great show and the booth looked busy while I was there. It will be interesting to hear some attendance numbers when compared to other great years.

Hi Everyone:

Wow, what a great show....I think it was the one of the best I have ever been to.

Terrific weather as important but it was the people that made it a three super days.

Thanks for everyone that dropped by the Farms.com booth and provided feedback on the OntAg site as well as the other activities.

Take care,

Joe
