I can't believe it's been a week since we held our February 24 speed dating event. A special thanks to the vendors and builders who participated. Even with the inclement weather nearly everyone showed up. It was our biggest speed dating event with 20 vendors attending. As usual, the event sold out. Both builders and vendors have expressed what a great event it was. The next one will be held on August 25. Be sure to register early as the event sells out quickly.
