Consistently voted one of the best tow shows in the country the gang of the Ohio Tow Association really know how to put on a show. This show always features excellent seminars and a large roster of companies on the exhibit floor. 2012 will surely be the same great show. If you’re in the Midwest or Mid-Atlantic region this family friendly show is not to be missed.
The California Tow Truck Association Show
October 4-6 Town & Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, CA.
After a several year run in Reno the Western States Tow Show is on the move. As we first reported in October the Western States Tow Show has found a new home and a new weekend. The irresistible San Diego location and the new fall date will surely return this great show to is rightful place as The Hottest Show in the West. No doubt this show and the fine people from the CTTA will ensure your time spent at this show will be both informative and fun.
See you in October!
