“We’re very pleased with this growth,” states Michael Martin, NWFA president and CEO. “It demonstrates that our industry is recovering after a sustained economic downturn. To have our show grow 30% in 2012, 20% in 2013, and now 30% again in 2014, is an indication that we can finally relax a little as an industry and start to enjoy our successes.”
