A Family Towing Affair

Have you heard of the Midwest Regional Tow Show, also known as a “Family Towing Affair”? If you haven’t, I feel you are missing out on a great opportunity to attend and be part of an event that I personally feel is the GREATEST Tow Show of the Midwest!

We will be celebrating or 46th Annual Show this year. We are an association show, so profits from this show go back into the industry in one way or another.

We pride ourselves in offering an event that is exciting and beneficial to you, whether you are an exhibitor or an attendee. We recently relocated, and the event will be held for its Second Year at the Robert’s Centre with our focus on a professional and family-oriented trade show. Our exhibitors take pride in their businesses, and it shows in the way they showcase their products and services!

We plan to continue to have an Indoor/ Outdoor Show, and this new location enables us to have trucks and trailers indoors. Our wonderful exhibitors will come in and set up on Thursday during the day to provide services for you on Friday (10:30 am – 5:30 pm) and Saturday (10:00 am – 6:00 pm).

Not only is this an event where you can come to see and purchase great products and gain knowledge with our free seminars. Yes, I said FREE, but there are events in the evenings to keep you entertained. We have fun and exciting events for your kids and even babysitting for them on Friday and Saturday evenings. We plan fun events for them during the time they are babysat. New things and events will keep you on your toes. and we are good at it too. This year we are doing a new event. A “Celebration of Life” to recognize all the towers that have passed on before us. This industry is a very difficult and time-consuming industry, as well as a compassionate one. Towers give up so very much to just be there and service the public. This is why we want to recognize those that have given so much. We will have a parade on Thursday evening, September 12th with a Hog Roast, and games such as cornhole and others in celebration of the folks you would want remembered. If you plan to attend, I encourage you to place the names of those you want to remember on a banner, poster board or on the windows of your trucks and/ or vehicles and join the parade. The parade will leave Robert’s Centre and head through the business district of Wilmington, Ohio. I will be asking for participation from the local Police, Fire and EMS as well as notifying local news. This would be a great way to get SDMO recognized more also.
