Flyer came in the mail yesterday about the Blume Supply woodworking show. I am sure most of the folks around Charlotte know about this but thought I would post this just in case. It runs the same days the show at the Mart does, at least it did in the past. I really did not check to compare dates. Blume started doing this some years back, as an alternative to the WWS, when the WWS started to go down hill. It has been a few years since I have gone so I do not know how much it has changed, if at all. Based on the flyer a lot of the big name companies will have reps there.

For those that don't know Blume Supply is located on South Blvd.

I have no connection with Blume Supply. Well I did have a couple of major verbal disputes with Steve Blume about 10 years ago.

Sorry if confused you.

The show at Blume Supply is the same weekend as the WWS at the Mart on Independence Blvd. This is the show I think I have seen you post about meeting for a meal. Blume Supply is located on South Blvd. and this is where the show is.

Hope this helps. If still confused you could call Blume Supply and talk with them.

Thanks for clarifying, Keye!

Sounds like there is plenty to do and see (Woodworking related) in Charlotte that weekend. It's a pity that Raleigh/Durham doesn't seem to draw this type of show.

Blume used to have a large presence at the Charlotte Show. As show operators got more greedy, Blume pulled out and started their own show.

That's weird, they're listed as one of the exhibitors on the Woodworking Shows website.

Different companies. One makes hinges / drawer slides, and the other sells woodworking toys, I mean machines.
