Creekside's EXPO Highlights


Christan Fuqua is an owner of Creekside Nursery. You’ve probably seen her logo on the handy, high quality canvas bags that are given away at EXPO-- but where might you find her? Her favorite part of EXPO is meeting people face to face.

"Often times so much business is done over the phone, email, or even via text; it's great to have the chance to talk in person."

So what's on Ms. Fuqua's must-do list?

"I personally enjoy the PAC lounge. For a reasonable contribution you get a comfy place to sit down for a few minutes and a beverage…and who doesn't enjoy that during the show? It's a great place to have a conversation, hear what legislative issues are affecting our industry and sometimes, entertainment as an added bonus.

"Most of our staff enjoys the education opportunities, the networking, and product demonstrations, as do I. It is especially important we support our TNLA-PAC so it will remain strong and be a larger, collective voice for our businesses and our industry on a wide variety of issues. 

"Business owners and managers have so many tasks to juggle, it is difficult to stay on top of all that is happening politically. Jim Reeves does a great job of keeping all who are interested 'in the know' with regards to the current and upcoming political climate.  That sort of information really helps business leaders anticipate and adjust as needed. That's one of the best value-added benefits all members of TNLA receive. Here's an easy way to jump in, stop by the PAC lounge."

Register today and look for Christan in the PAC Lounge or at the Creekside Booths, #1019 and #1023.
