I am very excited at the prospect of being at the helm of this wonderful event that Gene has built. My family and I have been in Fort St John for 9 years and have come to love the community. The trade show is a tradition in town and one that I am proud to have been a part of for these past 9 years. Gene has done a remarkable job with the show and I am looking forward to continuing his tradition for many more years to come!

A Look Back at 40 Years of Trade Show History
A SPECIAL SALUTE A great number of people have been involved in helping put the Trade Show on over the past four decades. One person who clearly stands out, is Paul Hawkes. For the first 32 years of the trade show, Paul was involved in every one of them. His involvement and his contribution are legendary. He worked at CKNL, and he took the same passion he had for radio and put it toward the show. He worked side by side with Gene Daniel and the other radio station managers who worked the show doing everything from selling booth Paul Hawkes space, to helping in the setup of the show, and working in the accounting room. On his retirement from the Trade Show, Paul was honoured with a special presentation for his long service and dedication to the show. Unfortunately, Paul passed away in December 2010 but his contributions for those first 32 years will never be forgotten.
Another person who spent many years helping at the Trade Show was Arlene Goodkey. Arlene, who looked after the administration for CKNL worked the Trade Show in the accounting end from 1973 until 1999. In her quiet efficient way, she made sure everything balanced out working long hours to make sure the job was done and done properly. And from the broadcasting end, and even helping out at the door from time to time, is another familiar face, who is still involved. Joe Stevens joined CKNL Radio in 1983, and has been at every trade show since working the live radio broadcasts and pitching in wherever help is needed. A special salute and thank you to these veterans. Joe Stevens

CAMP SAGITAWA CLIMBING WALL A familiar sight at the CKNL Trade Shows over the past few years has been the 20 foot rock climbing wall that Camp Sagitawa brings in. Since it stands high and proud, it really is an impressive display, and is used non stop by people of all ages who like to try their hand at climbing the wall. What a view of the show from the top of the wall. The Camp Sagitawa Climbing Wall is located in booth 119 on the first level. BLUEBERRY MINISTRY INFLATABLE SLIDE Another attraction that stands out is the 12 foot high Blueberry Ministry Slide on the 2nd level in the family fun zone. This slide has thrilled many youngsters for years at the trade show. George Loney, director of the SCA Blueberry ministry and Bible Camp says last year some one thousand youngsters used the slide. He`s looking forward to another good turnout this year. IN THE ZONE PARTY RENTALS Justin Elliott of In the Zone Party Rentals from Grande Prairie always brings in some of the most amazing bouncers and inflatables, and really out did himself last year when he brought in Laser Tag. What a hit that was. The 16 hundred square feet of play area was constantly busy with young and old alike and the good news is that he`s bringing it back again. His contingent of play things will keep families busy for hours. See it all inb the Family Fun Zone, 2nd level.

Rainbow the Clown is set to make her return to Trade Show Rainbow is no stranger to the CKNL Trade Shows. She`s made numerous appearances over the years, and delights her audiences with her clowning antics and great facepainting abilities. Rainbow considers herself a family friendly entertainer. She began her career in 1992 and has taken training at the Medicine Hat College Clown Camp to hone her skills and has also taken course in Edmonton, Calgary and Penticton from trainers who are world renowned professional clowns. It has now reached the point, where Rainbow is teaching clown workshops to adults and children. In Rainbow`s words “I really focus on my character and think of how my character would think and react to given situations or comic opportunities.” She says, “its an awesome thrill to see a child light up when they see Rainbow the Clown”. Rainbow has been serving the peace Region and beyond for more than twenty years.
Rainbow will be on hand April 14th and 15th, in the Family Fun Zone on the 2nd level and will have special facepainting times: April 14th from 12 to 2 PM, and again from 3 to 5 PM. And on April 15th from 11 AM to 12:30 PM, and again from 1 PM to 2:30 PM.

Noteable Notes about the 40th Annual CKNL Trade Show
ON SITE ATM AT THE TRADE SHOW One of the most requested items at last year`s trade show was “Is there an ATM on site?” Unfortunately there was not. However this year, 2011 Trade Show organizers are happy to report they took note and have responded with an on-site ATM on the first level of the Pomeroy Sport Centre. Exact location will be highlited with signage and will be readily accessible. ON SITE SECURITY Security is taken seriously at the Trade Show. That’s why Trade Show organizers always hire Code 3 Security. For the last seven years, this professional security firm has provided top notch service not only during the show hours but overnight in the building security. Their work is invaluable and many thanks go out for their exemplary service over the years. PARK PROPERLY AND RESPONSIBLY The city of Fort St John has gone to great lengths to maximize the amount of parking stalls that are available at the park-
ing lots in the front and the back of the Pomeroy Sport Centre be posted and this area will be monitored and vehicles will be including a good number of specially marked handicapped towed. Also, please have consideration for the neighbours of spaces. Along with space by the Kids Arena, and on both sides the Pomeroy Sport Centre and avoid parking in their lots. of the north Peace Arena, there is space for a thousand or so vehicles. But even with all that parking, at the height of the trade show there can be congestion. That is why Trade ® Show organizers suggest takFROM ing public transit which goes right by and stops right at the Pomeroy Sport Centre. Of course it goes without LIMITED TIME ONLY saying, DO NOT PARK on the roadway around the Pomeroy Sport Centre.
