Backer cancels its spring trade show

H.H. Backer Associates Inc. announced that it will cancel its spring trade show, scheduled for 9-11 April at the Atlantic City Convention Center in Atlantic City. “We simply could not get enough exhibitor support this year to allow us to produce a quality spring trade show that people have come to expect,” said Colette Fairchild, the show’s director. H.H. Backer’s flagship event, Backer’s Total Pet Expo Fall (September 19-21, Chicago) will continue as an annual event, Fairchild added. Exhibitors that have contracted for the spring show will have their choice of receiving a full refund or applying their deposit to the autumn show.
