The NEWS’ booth will be a virtual hotbed of activity at the 2008 AHR Expo in New York. We’ve got two snow bunnies that will be dragging show-goers into our booth, No. 1728, to try their hand at an interactive snowmobile arcade game. I can just hear them now, like a couple of carnies hawking in the aisles, “Come inside, take a ride. Try your luck at the magical, majestical, mystery snowmobile!”

Rides like that make me nauseous. In fact, I’m very likely to have a snowmobiling accident. I don’t think I’ll be in as bad shape as Rulon Gardner a few years ago after he lost a few toes in Idaho because I’m going to make sure the snow bunnies are not very far away. Don’t send the St. Bernard to pull me out of the drift – I want a snow bunny.

Every year there is something that catches everybody’s attention at the show. I remember a couple of years ago it was glow in the dark yardsticks. Once it was a rather charming purveyor of cappuccino latte. I think I recall an evap chiller that looked pretty sexy one time. This year, my money is on the snow bunnies.

Come by and see us at booth No. 1728.
