On Wednesday, Oct. 23, Home News Now celebrated the start of the fall market with its party held at the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame building in downtown High Point. Guests from the industry attended, including both suppliers and retailers getting ready for a full schedule of showroom visits and tours. The mood was positive as many longtime industry friends and associates got to visit with each other in anticipation of a strong fall event.
