2025 Annual Trade Shows: Building Connections Across the Midwest

This year, Big Muddy teams showed up in full force at two of the region's biggest industry events -- the AAKC Supplier Trade Show in Kansas City and the AAGW Supplier Trade Show in Wichita. These events are key opportunities for our teams to strengthen relationships, connect with property professionals, and showcase the dedication that defines every Big Muddy company.

Here is what Darrell Moore, Director of Operations at USD 290 , had to say: "I just want to thank you and your team for all your hard work on replacing the fire alarm system at Ottawa Middle School and doing it so quickly. You and your team stepped up when we needed you most. Because of your hard work and diligence, we are able to have our staff and students in a building that we know is safe. I knew with you leading your team that I did not have to worry. Thank you for your hard work, your high standards and your dedication in helping us. You are very much appreciated."
