Keeping up with customers and getting insights to the industry has been key to our business this year. As I'm writing this, I'm planning our upcoming cross-country haunt tour for the Halloween season. Besides the tremendous amount of fun we'll have visiting some of the best haunts in the country (I'm sure many of you are jealous), we'll be able to get insight on how customers are lighting their displays and get new ideas on how to make Darklight's products even better. If any of you on this forum are along the way and willing to host us while we're in town, we would greatly appreciate it =)

This turns out to be a lot more travelling than we've ever done, but we're young and super excited!

I'm posting our upcoming itinerary and hoping people on this forum can offer suggestions on places to go to help fill the gaps in between. We'll be flying and driving to many of these places. To add to the madness, we have 3 trade shows to attend along the way in October and November!
