     This is big change for this year's event. We are returning to the site of the best attended event we've ever had. The event is moving to the Benton County Fairgrounds. We are moving the event in order to restore the Christmas atmosphere we lost by not being able to carpet the floors in red in the Three Rivers Convention Center. Well, that's part of the reason. The Convention Center also had a problem with our event and hockey games not having enough parking, at the same time and the facility was getting more difficult to move in and out of. There were other less significant issues but, we're excited about the move. We had a lot of shoppers complain that the show had lost it's "spirit" and we didn't like that opinion. The fairgrounds will allow us to restore some of the entertainment, holiday lighting, and props that helped make the event so special. As promoters, will be bumping up our effort by putting decorations at the corners of all booths. Also, we will have total control over food and beverage services.

     In the last few years the area has blossomed significantly with new residence and business construction, to the point that if you haven't been through in the last six months, you won't believe it. The area is far less dependent on the Hanford employment than it used to be. In fact, the ups and downs in employment levels there no longer has the devastating impact it used to have. Folks have made this a regional shopping area and Christmas Memories is it's regional holiday event! We get calls throughout the year from people in other cities who want to plan some vacation around our show dates. As always, parking is free (and the fairgrounds has a giant parking lot) and our admission is good all weekend (a concept that has been adopted by most of the other Northwest events though, frankly, we were the first!). You don't want to miss this, the eighteenth annual Christmas Memories!
