“We are excited about the early show in Houston. The timing and location are perfect--our buying staff will be there.”
Barry Morin, Party City Corporation
"The facility is phenomenal...totally up to date. The weather is wonderful. At this time of year in other cities, I am hearing it's between 5 and 7 degrees. And to have these buying groups here (PCA, PFA, NCA), who normally have three different shows, makes this a very efficient option for us."
