Pheonix, AZ (12/20/2009) 
                                  - The crowds came out for The Arizona 
                                  Dirt & Sand Expo and Super Swap at the Arizona 
                                  State Fairgrounds last weekend. With the threat 
                                  of rain for the weekend, the crowds still lined 
                                  the fence on Saturday morning to get into the 
                                  show and take advantage of the deals behind 
                                  the gates. “The Arizona crowd is always 
                                  fun to be around,” said Chris Cahill from 
                                  Twisted Stitch. 
                                  
“Saturday was a good day, people were 
                                    buying more for themselves than for their 
                                    Christmas shopping list though,” laughed 
                                    Adam Bass from Big Belly Crew. The atmosphere 
                                    was fun and light with multiple vendors that 
                                    had the Christmas specials available.
                                  Promoter Andy Myers changed the format this 
                                    year to a SuperSwap after 7 years of formal 
                                    trade shows to adjust for the industry needs 
                                    and the shift in the economic times. “We 
                                    think this was a successful show,” said 
                                    show manager Nathaniel Mata. “Now that 
                                    people see the layout, it will get bigger 
                                    and bigger each year. We certainly appreciate 
                                    all the vendors support that we got for this 
                                    event!”
