This year at IRCHA we wanted to give everyone a chance to shine so we decided to attempt to cover each and every booth at IRCHA with what we call the Vendor Showcase.  We submitted questions to each and every vendor who sponsored IRCHA.  If you want the most detailed account of everything that IRCHA had to offer then this is the post you should be looking it.  Should also be a valuable marketing resource for other businesses in the industry.  We are very honored we were able to accomplish this.
