Garden and Patio Presence 2007 Variety Presence

Atlanta Garden & Patio Show 2007 Variety Presence Link to Show

SEMCO Productions, where our 1st Assistant Chief Barker Michael Schoppenhorst is the Show Director, donated a booth for Variety at the Garden & Patio Show at the Cobb Galleria Centre, running from January 25-28, 2007. The booth featured one of our Mobility Bikes and the sale of Gold Hearts, as well as a brief story about Variety Tent 21 and International.

There were literally thousands of people that attended the show and came past our booth. We took in just under $1600 at this event from the sale of pins and a few t-shirts. Our volunteers worked the crowd tirelessly and obviously got great results. No one walked by without being asked to buy a Gold Heart pin for the kids.

I wanted to list the volunteers for this event to let everyone know the level of support we have here in town.
