MANHEIM, PA -- Woodworkers from the Lancaster, PA region and beyond flocked to Wood Pro Expo Lancaster on Thursday, October 14 to attend the opening of the two-day event. "We were pleased with the long queue of attendees waiting to get into the show before the opening," said Lewis Goldman, WPE Lancaster managing partner.  "It's been two long years since the last event and the crowds here are a testament to the pent-up demand for a face-to-face event."  He said he expects a good turnout for Day 2 as well.

The two-day event is preceded by the CMA's popular regional meeting and plant tours on October 13.

The Lancaster area is home to one of the largest concentrations of wood industry firms in the country.
