As our regular readers know, we really do not like the 'seasonal' blog posts and such. At 2Sand.com, we think that a good idea needs to be acted on right away, not held until some arbitrary date. Major changes ARE underway here, but we have not waited until January 1st to begin.

Last year, we moved into a new warehouse/office and even added some staff. Our commitment to providing you great service, low pricing and fast delivery will never change, but we moved to some new digs and added a few folks to help us keep that promise. We are currently exploring some other interesting new changes as well, so stay tuned to this blog and our newsletter to keep abreast.

As I write this, the entire country is in the middle of a deep freeze. A friend in Florida is talking about 38 degrees, Nashville reports single digits and all over the country garage shops are not being used because it is just too cold. Fortunately, we found an indoor option over the past weekend attending one of The Woodworking Shows, in Baltimore. It's always a great time to wander around, see the new offerings and demos, and get a chance to chat with other woodworkers. We tend to be a solitary bunch, often working alone in our shops or with only a few others, so any chance to meet others and get in a little professional development should be taken advantage of.

What shows or events do you participate in? Do you go to the hobby based shows like this weekend's? Do you prefer the industrial shows like IWF in Atlanta coming this August? Juried events, craft shows, woodworking clubs? Share your favorite events and why you find them valuable.
