TRADE SHOW GROWS!
The trade show at the 2015 Central Plains
Dairy Expo will be 150% bigger than in the
past. The city of Sioux Falls has built a new
event center, which has given us the opportunity to move the Welcome Reception and
Concert into the new venue and to expand
the trade show.
This year, both the Convention Center and
the Arena will be filled with 300+ exhibitors,
all displaying new products, services and
equipment for milk producers, calf and heifer
growers and dairy beef feedlot operators.
There will be more large equipment on display than ever before. All inside, all under one
roof. To see the list of exhibitors, visit
www.centralplainsdairyexpo.com.
Easy and free
The Central Plains Dairy Expo is easy to get
to (I-29 Exit 81 in Sioux Falls, S.D.) and nearly
everything associated with the Expo is free.
• Parking is free.
• Admission to the trade show is free.
• Admission to the Welcome Reception and
Concert is free to dairy producers, calf and
heifer growers and dairy beef feeders and
their families and their employees. Tickets for
industry members are included with their
booths and sponsorships.
• Much of the food at the show is free. Several
exhibitors are providing lunches for their customers. Some exhibitors have teamed up to
grill ribeye sandwiches for their current and
prospective customers on Wednesday. Cap
off the first day by taking in the free cheese
social in the Trade Show. In evening, be sure
to get together with company reps and go
out on the town for dinner.
