WORLD FENCE NEWS ��� MARCH 2013 ��� Atlantic City hosts Garden State AFA Jackpot show The trade show was open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The Jackpot show also was devoted to an important charitable cause. ���Superstorm Sandy spared part of the Jersey Shore from devastation. However, the beach towns to the north of Atlantic City weren���t so lucky, and Sandy affected many residents of New Jersey and New York as well, including some of our fellow fencers,��� Fielden stated. ���The GSAFA held a fundraising event at Jackpot 2013 to directly benefit those affected, as well as began organizing continuing efforts to help those in need both financially and physically.��� nc e N O L Despite some initial concern about damage to Atlantic City from Superstorm Sandy, the Garden State AFA Jackpot 2013 fence, deck and railing trade show came off without a hitch on Jan. 25-26 at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino on the Boardwalk. The Jackpot show is held every two years in Atlantic City. ���There were absolutely no negative issues relating to the Jackpot show due to Sandy,��� reported trade show chairman Terry Fielden. ���The hotel, casino and ballroom facilities were fine, and there were no transportation problems that seemed to hinder anyone getting there.��� There was not time to assemble a full report for the March edition of World Fence News, but complete coverage will be provided in the April issue. A series of valuable educational seminars were held on Friday, and the show kicked off with the traditional cocktail reception on Friday night.
