The Expo Center
I have heard a lot of comments about the Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center since its' opening, (from this point forward referred to as the Expo Center) both good and bad. I have a lot of trouble swallowing the bad, but I realize that noone or no organization bats a thousand. It's just that the Expo Center catches a lot of undeserving grief.
The reason I have trouble hearing the bad is because of the effort they have made to make it a first class venue. Yes, there have been glitches, but I think if you checked with any of the major venues in this country you would find that there are inherent problems with opening a new building.
Their choice of diversity in shows has been outstanding! Rock, Country, Kids, Family...it goes on and on...they have chosen wisely.
People have been quick to judge, sometimes negatively, about the operations of the Expo Center. Be it security, door open time, concessions or otherwise, a lot of negative comments have been made. Folks, Rome wasn't buit in a day. SMG, the management company, runs some of the biggest and most notable venues in the country, but new buildings and new markets always require a "feeling out and learning process" and this one is no exception. A lot of money was spent to build this arena, but it is a learning process for both SMG and the Expo Center. They have done an outstanding job thus far and it seems to only get better!
If you have a beef, or a suggestion, go to the web site www.eastkyexpo.com and everyone's e-mail address is listed. They will listen and respond respectfully if your request or comment is made in the same tone.
By the way, if you have comments or questions for me you may always e-mail wdhr@wdhr.com and I will respond...respectfully. We're here for you and we don't take that lightly.
