Great opportunity to see all the players and actually put your hand on the boilers folks! I hope a bunch of you are there!

Does the $2500 discount apply to a FireWin with auto feed from a pellet bin or bag?

 

[Willman]

any live fire demos? I'll be there

good question... is that a $2500 for all attending, or is it a prize to be won? The advertisement is sandwiched by 2 prizes to be won, but the Windhager is not specific?

So it is a $2500 gift certificate to be won... not for everyone registered, correct? The other 2 listings say you can "win" the item so that is clearly a raffle drawing. The Windhager certificate just says "Save $2500".... but that's a raffle for one certificate only?

We provided 1 certificate for $2,500
I assumed it's for the raffle. I'm pretty sure it is, but will double check.
Thanks!

Haha, I interpreted that as everyone getting a $2500 certificate! Good thing someone asked.

I really wanted to be there. I actually had planned on it. I deliver into portland friday morning. But, other things happen. I wanted to meet other fellow heath members. And obviously see all the equipment. Damn life got in the way.

 

[chken]

Well, sadly, I can't make it either. The pics are great, and I wish I had a chance to talk to some of the vendors, and possibly meet some of our fellow Hearth members. I'm wondering why the event couldn't include one weekend day?

 

[Willman]

It seemed to me to be oriented to installers and industry types as evidenced by the talks. My wife and daughter remarked on the demographics of those attending while we were there. Great show and I didn't win the raffles.

The expo was 3 days long and there were seminars and classes for installers, manufacturers, and industrial operators as noted. However, there were x2 open houses that had lots of folks stop in! It was great to see that many people stopping in and asking questions about biomass systems and equipment.

What kind of demographics were you refering to? Because my wifes comment was she was surprised how many women were there! (not a lot mind you... just more than she imagined!)

 

[Willman]

I was there from 9:30ish till after lunch. Coming in checking out the live fires outside my wife remarked about the lack of women visitors. Inside reinforced her assumption.My daughter concurred. It is largely a mans world in the basement and heating appliances not sure why. We went right to the Winhager booth and spoke with Mark and the company reps at length about their boilers.My wife loved the Firewin and picked out a color.The large commercial stuff wasn't really relevant to me so not a lot of time spent there. Spent time at Mesys and Viessman and ended up with Chris and the Froling. talked to the pellet suppliers about the possibility of bulk delivery out to the island cottage where we are gonna put the pellet boiler.
