2014 Table Top Tour & Show Story & Photos

NECA’s 2014 Table Top Show and Tour Draw Record Attendance

NECA’s 2014 Table Top Show and Tour were so well-attended, Briteway Car Wash provided its big passenger van to accommodate overflow tour registrants. The tour offered plenty of variety at its four stops: Big Steve’s Plaza Car Wash in Leominster, Quick ‘n Clean in Fitchburg, Briteway Car Wash Circle K also in Fitchburg, and Clean & Green Car Wash and Detail Center in Marlboro. A very tasty lunch was served, compliments of Sonny’s, under a big tent while visiting Big Steve’s. Check out the photo collages of the tour stops and participants on the NECA web site.

Upon their return to the beautiful, naturally lit Devens Common Center, our guests viewed 35 distinctive displays, and enjoyed an exceptionally delicious and well-presented buffet of Italian specialties, complete with a large assortment of canolis. Trays of cookies and coffee were served as we announced the best exhibit award winners and conducted the drawing for the exhibitor prizes. Many of the show attendees won prizes offered by our exhibitors, and the winner of NECA’s Exhibitor Appreciation Prize, a $75 gift certificate for Legal Seafood, was Martin Geller of Vehicle Wash Systems.

Without the support of our exhibitors, we would not be able to offer this special annual event. We truly appreciate their ongoing participation. There were quite a few stand-out exhibits which are featured in photo collages on the NECA web site (linked from the home page under “Recent Event Round Up”). Our judges chose the following winners:

Auto Shine of New England, judged the Most Successful in Aligning with our Theme, “Come Clean with Us”, was awarded lunch on us, a $50 restaurant group gift certificate.

Watchfire LED Signs, judged the Most Eye Catching display of otherwise “mundane” products, was awarded lunch on us, a $50 Cheesecake Factory gift certificate

Autowash Maintenance Corporation, judged Best in Show for its impressive light display, was awarded an $100 Capital Grille gift certificate.
