2017: A RETROSPECTIVE
The second Midwest Grooming Expo, produced by Karen Aldrich CPCG was held in beautiful
Bloomington MN this past April 8th and 9th. The Expo made quite a splash in the grooming
community! It was a two-day whirlwind event full of seminars, competitions, silent auction and
shopping. With fabulous speakers from all round the US, talking on subjects including Pricing
yourself for Profits with Danelle German, Soaks and Scrubs with Bullet Brown, Asian Styling with
Karen Aldrich and Tools and Equipment with Anna Hawks just to mention a few!
Those that choose to compete showed off their skills in Open Class, Asian Style, Rescue, Salon
Creative and Extreme Creative. All our placed winners received a rosette along with a gift. Our
first-place winners received a wonderful gift bag from Espana Silk Grooming Products to help make
their grooms shine. These competitions drew quite a crowd in the trade hall and while people
were waiting for the competitions to start they enjoyed a variety of vendors like Love Groomers, E's
Accessories, Young Living and Loop Dawg to name a few! It was a great place for the groomers of
the Midwest to come together, learn and show off their talents.
