by Earlier this week, Home News Now spent some time at the Grandover Resort where the premarket sponsors committee hosted retailers and other guests in town for this season’s premarket party. It was an occasion for the industry to spend time with old friends and business associates in a relaxed atmosphere featuring plenty of food and drink. Following a busy day of visiting showrooms seeing new products, it was a good way to conclude the first full day of the event which kicks off this season’s High Point Market cycle. Below are some of those we saw at Grandover.
