The Focus on Trade 2008 event held this past weekend attracted well over 600 visitors. The home show consisted of a variety of different organizations, companies and home-based businesses. The convention centre at the Moose Jaw Exhibition Grounds was full of buyers and sellers from all over Saskatchewan. For example, one of the home-based businesses, BeautiControl, is out of Saskatoon. Its booth was about therapeutic bath minerals.

“Our bath minerals do not use the strong perfume scent that many people do not enjoy,” said Cheryl Morgans, one of the consultants for the business. “That is why we use natural aromas of dead sea salts which is very soothing.” Another out-of-town business, V.K. Imports from Regina, had international award-winning aromatherapy available to try and buy. “I really liked Everything Wood (scented) and the flowers are really nice too. As well, the Glass Suncatchers were very nice,” said Kathy Chapman, a visitor to the event. Many local businesses also had booths set up at the event. There were also several door prizes to be won and contests to enter. Also, a concession was up and running and a mini-doughnut stand was set up outside. “I really enjoy looking at all the displays,” said Chapman. “They are all really well done.” For Keith Curtis, he was just there for some fun. “I like to just talk and visit with people,” Curtis said. “Although, I am interested in most of the building and landscaping stuff,” he quickly added.
