    Default Who would be interested in a High Point NC Market Private Tour?

    The April High Point Market is soon upon us. April 14th through April 18th are the "To the Trade Dates", Yes, the Furniture Market is open only (5) days, and this is a Dealer presentation where we see the new items and new leathers, etc, its not open to the public. The Showrooms are removed shortly thereafter and furniture sold off to dealers.

    I had a thought.

    One of the things I hear most often is "I can't find this Hancock and Moore piece to sit on and see in person". To that end - if there is enough interest here - perhaps I can arrange a private day and get them to open the showroom for forum readers for one day. I would have to close the store and be there, as well as probably see if my H&M Sales Rep could spend the day with us as well to tell us of the new pieces (there are typically over 250 upholstery items in the H&M Showroom and another 150 or so in the attached Jessica Charles showroom).

    I have NOT run this by H&M Management, but will if there is sufficient interest. I would probably look at doing it on Sunday April 22nd if allowed.....if it had to be a weekday then the 19th or 20th.

    If this sounds like something you would like to attend, please reply to this thread and how many would be in your party. No children under 18.

    I would and I registered just to say so. I would even be willing to travel a ways. BUT I am not able to attend in April. Since High Point is a twice yearly event would it be possible to do this in October instead? Might give H&M more time to get "comfortable" with the idea as well!

    Perhaps we can look at setting this up in October High Point Market and even couple it with a factory tour for the group. Let's see how many responses we get.

    I have not received enough interest in setting this up to date. I feel we would need to have at least a dozen forum members in attendance to set this up.

    I think my wife and I would be interested since we're not too far away. My parents might be as well, but for purposes of headcount put us in as 2 for now!

    Right now is there any chance this will happen?

    Edited to add: in the event it does, it would me plus one other person.
