\t\t\t\tIn most retail situations, the consumer has no choice but to talk to a middleman seller when asking questions about a particular product or service. What would happen if the middleman was cut out and you, the consumer, could learn directly from the wholesaler about the product you were interested in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that is exactly what Road\u2019s newest feature \u2013 Marketplace<\/strong> <\/em><\/span>— is all about.\u00a0 Carolyn Reese has come up with a way for guests at the show to meet and ask questions directly with top manufacturers in the quilting industry. And it gives the wholesalers a chance to meet their buying public face-to-face, share their techniques and introduce what is up and coming with their product line.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight exhibitors will be stationed in the Marketplace which is located at the front of the Exhibit Hall, right where Road\u2019s guests first come in. Exhibitors that will be in the Marketplace include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
