The 2025 show debuted immediately following Milwaukee's thousand-year flood that shut down the Wisconsin State Fair, flooded Milwaukee International Airport's runways, overflowed four rivers and flooded homes with water up to 3 feet high. Yet 7,500 determined attendees from 39 states came to the debut show and despite the weather-withered attendance, many of our vendors still had a good show.
