The biggest trade show of the year is always The National Hardware Show in Las Vegas. Thousands of people in the hardware and lawn and garden industries descend on the glitzy Las Vegas strip for 3 show days at the Convention Center.

The Womanswork booth looked very inviting with its company branded directors chairs, its displays brimming with garden gloves, sun hats and Garden Wheels, and our famous video playing in the background (our video was produced and shot by an emmy-nominated director Joe Locarro).

We stayed at The Marriott Grand Chateau which was a nice, smallish non-casino hotel. Just our style. We got around the city on the Monorail, which gives you a birds eye view of the city as you glide from one casino hotel stop to the next.

Las Vegas grows on me a little each time I go, but I am always glad to leave the clanging sound of slot machines behind and come back home.
