Pries said this year’s Toronto show included a strong representation from both the western and Maritime provinces. Opening night anniversary celebrations included live music by the Blus Brothers (a Canadian tribute to the orig- inal Belushi and Aykroyd creation) and a show-floor party. Blus Brother Bob Hammond is also in the window busi- ness in Dundas, Ontario – so was a great fit and a very fun way to start the show.
