We're back from the CHA Winter show! What an amazing event to participate in! We oohed and ahhed as we arranged the beautiful projects from our wonderful teams; we shared so many laughs (and hugs) with our amazing customers; and we finished the show with a VERY full heart as we soaked in all of the CHA aftermath. THANK YOU for making the show a success for Prima! We wouldn't be where we are today without EACH and EVERY one of YOU!!!!
Of course we took a TON of photos at the show! For those of you who were there you know how products and projects filled every nook and cranny of our booth. For those who could not attend...we hope to give you a little glimpse of CHA....Prima-style! Enjoy!
