COFS Parent Firm Expanding The Brand

Glacier Media expects it's new outdoor farm demonstration show in Western Canada to bring in over a million dollars a year in revenue.

That forecast is part of the company's Second Quarter fiscal report.

Glacier started the Western Canada show based on the success of the event it now owns in Ontario - Canada's Outdoor Farm Show near Woodstock.

The 3-day Ontario event attracts over 40 thousand people each year.

Glacier's report says the company is also focusing growth efforts on several specific sectors of it's business, including Agriculture.

Besides the farm shows, the company is also involved in other areas such as agricultural publications, websites and weather models and networks.

Glacier says the agriculture industry is experiencing rapid change and innovation with new technologies and methods and suggests the company is well-positioned to capitalize on those trends.
