This year's show was held January 11 - 13 and seemed a bit stronger from overall representation of the past couple of years. There was a strong crowd in the exhibit halls early afternoon on Saturday the 12th, even with unseasonal January temperatures topping out around 70 degrees, which you would have thought would have had folks on the water or outdoors elsewhere. The crowds then increased as the afternoon wore on with a lot of very happy NC State fans trickling in after watching the Wolfpack basketball team beat (then) #1 Duke.
