Earthworm Industries, Inc. attended and exhibited at the American Hardware Manufacturers' Association trade show at the McCormick Center in Chicago in April. This is one of the biggest trade show events of the year for the hardware and lawn and garden industry. MowerBuddy^TM was featured in the New Product Exposition and received rave reviews from the attendees.

In May MowerBuddy^TM was at the National Hardware Show in conjunction with Lawn and Garden World in fabulous Las Vegas! At this show also, MowerBuddy^TM was featured in the "New Product World," a presentation reserved for innovative new products.

In September we exhibited at the International Lawn Garden and Power Equipment Exposition in Louisville, Kentucky. Every major manufacturer of lawn and garden tractors was there and we received a number of orders. As at the other shows, everyone was amazed that no one had an accessory this useful and MowerBuddy^TM was praised and admired by all! Great interest has been generated in marketing and retailing MowerBuddy^TM as a result of these shows, and we are currently evaluating the proposals presented to us.

MowerBuddy^TM has been in retail stores since the end of May and will soon receive full coverage in all of the well-known lawn and garden catalogues. Look for us!!
