Hedahls Auto Parts PB&E Trade Show
and Training Seminar was a huge success and enjoyed by all who attended. We
had rave reviews from customers and factory reps. The first day our featured
speaker was a nationally renowned Hub "Dr. Gun" Forsgren, who has
been compared to the Billy Graham of PB&E. We had nearly 100 customers and
students attend his six-hour seminar. He covered things like new spray
techniques, especially how they relate to new products, and then common
problems that can be cured by a properly adjusted spray gun. He also explained
the importance of clean air and how to achieve it, as well as how spray
technology complements new paint technology
After the Dr. Gun show, everyone
went to the Radisson Inn and went around to 36 booths of every PB&E
product you could think of, and many of the booths were conducting mini
seminars and clinics on new products and tools. We had great attendance from
our PB&E manufacturers. They were all very pleased with the show that
seemed to offer something for everyone. BSC Vo-Tech instructor Rich Malsam
gave each of his students the assignment to prepare a written report of one of
the booths.
The show was highlighted by two clinics on windshield installation. The
clinician, sent to us by 3M, explained how the structural strength of a
vehicle depends on proper windshield installation. In fact he had only
recently appeared as an expert witness on the television magazine, 20-20,
testifying in a case where accident injuries were alleged to have been more
severe than necessary because of the failure of the windshield installation.
It gave our customers-along with the BSC students who may become our future
customers-a wonderful opportunity to review proper installation. technique and
product usage.
With customers from Wolf Point, MT to Aberdeen, SD to Detroit Lakes, MN and all points in between, the event was a great success. Thanks to everyone who helped make it possible. You have a lot to be proud of with this one. If you have comments or suggestions for future shows, please send them to Dick Joritz at the Bismarck store or Hilary Wald at Headquarters. They welcome your feedback.
