PrimeFare East Regional Scientific Symposium Celebrates 17th Year

The PrimeFare East Regional Scientific Symposium, now in its 17th year, reported that 60% of attendees at the June event were first-time attendees. The event offered five educational tracks for its more than 100 practitioner attendees in addition to an exhibit hall for manufacturers and business service companies.

This year, PrimeFare Central and PrimeFare East both supported the “Ride for Ella,” a fundraiser to support the ongoing medical expenses of 3-year-old Ella Bilbrey, who lost her foot in a lawn mower accident in 2014. Bilbrey’s father is a deputy sheriff in Sumner County, Tenn. and her mother is a fire inspector in Gallatin, Tenn. The fundraiser was led by the Gallatin chapter of the Roughnecks Motorcycle Club, a group comprised of first responders and their supporters. So far “Ride for Ella” has raised more than $8,000.

PrimeFare West will be held March 18-19, 2016 in Denver.
