Over 60 members from the ARA of NJ, representing over 20 stores traveled great distances on a rain filled dreary night to attend an association program that will be remembered for many years to come.   Our host, Rocky Sconda, owner of Main Attractions Special Event Company prepared this gala event for the membership.  The dinner and meeting was held in a 48" x 48" clearspan structure erected in the parking lot on a raised 2 level custom designed  floor , which at its peek was four feet off the ground.   The structure was fully accessorized with lighting,  carpeting, magnificent columns, executive restrooms, sound system, custom bar, railings, liner and backdrops.  None of the attendees can ever remember a meeting much like this before.  Prior to the dinner and afterwards tours were given of the huge facility highlighting Rocky's tremendous inventory of special event equipment.

The night featured speakers from Top-Tech, Eureka, Anchor and NTI Industries.  Each speaker gave a brief presentation concerning tenting trends and this was followed by a panel discussion where the tent experts were asked difficult and sometimes controversial questions.
