Despite blowing snow, frigid air and blizzard conditions, just under 300 people attended the trade show and convention or a combination of the events held in Red Deer on February 8, 9 & 10.

AOWMA’s vendors put on an excellent show for those attending the trade show. Interactive displays and live demos were available to keep things interesting. Technical sessions provided by our vendor base were well received and well attended.

Local craft breweries joined us at happy hour to pour tasters, which were enjoyed with food pairings unique to each beer type.

The convention scheduled featured a mixture of research, technical and practical education, including open discussions and specialized meetings. The work camp community was able to attend their annual meeting and the pumpers attended their first of what looks to become an annual meeting.

Copies of the presentations will be available on the AOWMA website shortly.
