Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show
Harrisburg, PA already exceeded its average Feb snowfall (Hello Blizzard 2010!) Thankfully it didn't stop our brave outdoor enthusiasts from attending the largest consumer event of its kind in North America, including Lee & Tiffany Lakoksy & The Crush Crew. Even with the crazy snow conditions, The Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show, Feb 6 - 14 remained open to those who could make it. Attendance was reported to be a bit lighter opening weekend, but overall it was another GREAT show, and once again we want to extend our sincere thanks to those who braved the weather and took the time to come visit with us! We hope everyone is back home safe & sound! To help show our appreciation, here are a few highlights...
Holy snow! Not exactly the welcome we were all hoping for! ; )
The good news? It was warm & cozy inside the State Farm Show Complex. When the snow refused to quit coming down, show hours were shortened, but the show was never cancelled. After all, we are outdoor enthusiasts, right? We can handle a little snow! = )
If numbers were down, the Crush Booth didn't notice! Thanks again for coming out!
Thanks to our diehard fans who were willing to wait in long lines to come visit us!
Our 2009 season DVD and Crush logo-wear were pretty popular items, but once again, the Crush Peace, Love & Venison leather cuff bracelet was a huge hit! Thanks to our Crush fan for modeling her new one!
This cutie-pie Crush fan is modeling his newly signed Crush hat. (another popular item at the show)
These Crush fans were proud to sport their pink Crush koozies. Hmmmm.... maybe it had something to do with Valentine's, or maybe they've learned chicks dig pink. Either way, thanks for coming out!
Now this is one sweet way to deal with long lines!
Speaking of long lines, this sweet Crush fan was not feeling well while waiting in line, so Lee & Tiffany came to her instead-- she even snuck a little kiss in on Lee!
Wait a minute, could this be a little Tiffany in training? We sure thought so. Nice to see you Makayla!
We had many "Tiffany Twins" during the show. They couldn't have matched better if they planned it! Meet "Max". Too cute.
Crush fan "Abigail" was so excited to get her turn to meet Lee & Tiffany! So nice to meet you Abigail!
The Lakoskys are used to signing many items at the shows, but this one was unexpected! Leave it to a Crush fan to dig up an old school book with Lee on the cover! Classic! Lee, you haven't changed a bit. ; )
Hey, what's this? Looks like tables are turned, with fellow hunter Travis "T-Bone" Turner signing Tiffany's Crush shirt.
Kelli, bless her heart, waited in line a long time to get her picture with Lee & Tiffany and she was nothing but smiles. What patience! Good sign of an up & coming hunter!
Thanks so much for waiting Nick from York, PA! Did we mention we love our fans?
Behind the Crush booth, we think the Bone Collector gang was trying to steal our cool Crush logo wear. Travis T-Bone Turner & Nick Mundt. We can't blame them!
The Lakosky's show time favorite is meeting their fans and fellow hunters, but fun was also had by all at the seminars. Thanks for packing the stands and for the GREAT questions!
So nice to see a full house, despite the blizzard!
Good times.
Ralph & Vicky, Stan Potts, Tiffany & Lee, dishing it out with the fans.
Whatever they were paying this gentleman was not enough. The snow didn't stop coming, but the fans kept coming too!
With all that cold snow, what better way to warm up than with our furry friends....
Kelly Profant and Tiffany cuddling with a black lab pup that a fan brought over.
This one sure warms your heart. Meet Gunny - just one of several pups who came out to Harrisburg.
Dog kisses... all in a day's work
Well, "Princess & the Frog" is a big hit, but "Princess and the Hog" ?!! (not sure Disney will go for this one, Tiff!)
With this "parting kiss", we thank you once again for braving the cold weather & the long lines to come visit with us! We loved meeting you all & hope to see you next year!
Peace, Love & Venison
The Crush Crew
