Check out the 2015 website: http://thehugeconvention.com/ Tickets are half price for a limited time. We'll see you at the big show! We did the site visit a couple of weeks ago and it's phenomenal. If you missed last year's convention check out the recap: http://eclean.uberflip.com/i/387493-issue-27/15 Be sure to check out the video!

It was a good event but a lot of guys did get knocked out of coming because of the snow. We had 104 contractors brave the elements and make it in so it was still a nice crowd. Lots of fun and learning. I hope you can make it to the big August convention in Maryland. Hopefully snow won't be an issue! http://thehugeconvention.com/

83 contractors have registered for the Northeast PW Seminar and Trade Show. Don't miss the biggest event of the year (so far). Kick off 2015 with a ton of education, fun, and fellowship! http://pw-seminar.com

I just got off the phone with Jack. He is almost caught up on snow removal and sleep and will get around to ending the Early Registration sometime this evening. If you are coming and want to save $30 get it NOW. http://pw-seminar.com/seminar

Are you interested in learning how to make big bucks in wood restoration? Jake Clark of Armstrong Clark and Peirce Flitchett of Ready Seal want to help. They are subsidizing huge discounts on Jack Kramer's wood restoration class on Friday before the NW Pressure Washing Seminar in Bethlehem, PA. The class is $299. You only pay $99 of the total! http://pw-seminar.com/

I talked to Jack and he is leaving the menus the same as last year. That's great because everything was awesome. Also, he has been slammed with plowing and other stuff and never changed the registration price so you can still get early registration if you hurry. http://pw-seminar.com/registration

http://pw-seminar.com/registration Get you everything Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday- keynotes, breakouts, trade shows. Also includes drinks and hor douvres Friday night, hot breakfast every day, lunch and dinner buffets, and kegger. Early registration ends Wednesday.

Additional class- “Ice Dam Removal” by Tom Vogel. Most guys charge $500 for the first hour and $300 an hour after that. One job will pay for your whole trip!

There are rooms available for the Pressure Washing Convention but they are in short supply. We ran out and I was able to extend the block but I can’t get any more. Also, the room block runs out this week. That means that even if there is a room available it won’t be in our block and will be $250-$300. If you’re coming get your room today. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. https://aws.passkey.com/g/25186149
