It’s certainly not too late to start planning for KIDShow Las Vegas in February 2010. With more new  exhibitors and brands than ever before, this show is a “can’t miss”  for buyers.

Show coordinator Denise Raeside tells us, “Buyers have found the Las Vegas Market to be cost-effective, with the lowest travel and stay rates in the U.S., and KIDShow has the largest selection of brands the buyers need in their stores – they can get all of their buying done for the season … and take in an entertainment show while they are there, too!”

The list of new exhibitors keeps growing:

Alpha Apparel … Amerex Group LLC with Carter’s / London Fog & Osh Kosh … Blind Mice Socks … Butterfly Treasures … Cazella Innovations … Classroom School Uniforms … Cover Me Blue … EZ Sox … Family Ties … Flyers Group PLC / Ben Sherman Kids … Franco Apparel Group with Eddie Bauer / Hello Kitty / Laura Ashley / Little Bitty / Majestic Athletic / Peanuts & Warner Brothers … Frederic Lou with SpaSilk … Funkoos … Happy Kids for Kids … House of Mongrel … Indo Apparel & Gifts … JDC Accessories / Button-Caps … Kate Quinn Organics … Kicky Pants … Kitty Kat Designs … Miquel-Ruis USA … Mooncakes … Peace of Cake … Piccolo Hosiery … Star Ride Kids … Tiny Pants … Z Wear … Zootie Patootie

These brands are showing  alongside long-standing KIDShow exhibiting brands like:

Biscotti … Bon Bebe … Bows Arts … Cach Cach … Calvin Clothing … Carriage Boutiques … Children’s Apparel Network … Dan Post Boot Co. … Genuine Rose … Good Girl … Good Lad … Hip Hop Hosiery … Josmo Shoes … Kalencom … Kiddo … Kids Headquarters with Hurley & Paul Frank Industries … Kissy Kissy … LeTop … Little Things Mean A Lot … Mamiye Bros. with Little Me & Flapdoodles … Nannette … Pediped … Reflectionz … Sage Creek Organics … Sara’s Prints … Shannon Kids … Snopea … Tea Collection … Trimfoot … Truly Me by Sara Sara … Tutu Cute … Vitamins … and many, many more!

Plus, the HUDSON’S Mannequin Maze is now forming. All mannequins are available; email info@hudsonscr.com for RSVP and payment.

Check the KIDShow website for updated brands listings, and for a link to discounted hotel room rates at Bally’s and Paris Hotels – Denise says that the Bally’s  rate of $49.00 per night for a Monday-Wednesday stay  is the lowest rates she’s seen in years.  “It is less expensive to fly and stay in Las Vegas than to drive and stay in the regional markets,” she adds.
