Went North to escape the heat...

We went to Chicago last week to Aquascape Designs Pond College. It was my fourth year to attend. Pond College consists of three days of classes covering installation, business, retailing and general water gardening.

What I brought home from the conference was that the future is very bright for water gardening. Everyone was upbeat as sales for the industry as a whole have been great this year and we expect next year to be even better.

And yes, the temperatures in Chicago were in the mid 90's all week.
