SPIRIT OF PRESERVATION ACCEPTING EXHIBITORS NO CUTS

SS/JAR

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Professionals who are specialists in historic preservation and related products and technologies, have begun to sign up for space at the March 2-5 “Spirit of Preservation Exposition “ here.

According to the Spirit of Preservation Foundation, “people love to visit Saratoga Springs, where the spirit of historic preservation has reigned for decades.”

The community reportedly “has long been a leader in the historic preservation movement.” With more than a thousand buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Saratoga Springs is a “visual catalogue of architectural styles, from simple vernacular to sophisticated, high-style buildings dating from the early 1800s.”

Both the city and the exposition, says the Foundation, will attract a variety of buyers and decision makers, including architects, home owners, city planners, developers, contractors, artisans, property managers, landscape architects and interior designers.

Exhibitors will include vendors, artisans and contractors, as well as those in related fields, such as historic gardening, historic interior design, publishers of historic preservation books and journals, and organizers of events.

Both exhibitors and attendees will be able to establish direct contact with Spirit of Preservation’s sophisticated, well-targeted regional audience. They will enjoy the chance to explore Saratoga Springs and view superb examples of successful historic preservation projects.

 Now available is an exposition promotional package, including a definitive brochure, space contract and selection map of the show, and a full set of the exhibit rules and policies.
