Timber Harvesting magazine Senior Associate Editor David Abbott recently traveled to Hot Springs, Arkansas to attend the 2015 InWoodsExpo. The success of the fourth InWoodsExpo (IWE), held near Hot Springs, Ark. June 18-20, looked doubtful as the show got underway. Thanks to tropical depression Bill, clouds overshadowed crowds when registration opened, and after hours thunderstorms threatened to wash out the rest of the weekend. Given that the three previous expos had been impacted by rain and severe weather, organizers opted to move this year’s show to June. As it turned out, the rain was not much of a factor. By the time the majority of attendees arrived to walk the trails on Friday and Saturday, clouds had cleared and the heat was on. “Out of the four outdoor shows we have done, this is the only one when we’ve had sunlight on both full days,” according to Arkansas Timber Producers Assn. (ATPA) Executive Director Larry Boccarossa, who was expo manager.
