The Pond Digger & The Helix Pond Skimmer traveled to Shawnee, OK in February to learn & TEACH at the 2013 Water Garden Expo. Networking with a couple hundred pond contractors from across the nation is a sure fire way to soak up a ton of knowledge and get super charged for a new year!
The Water Garden Expo was a GREAT event with over 21 educational seminars geared towards The Pond Digging business and one very special Pond Contractor Focus Group on How to Direct & Produce a YouTube Video hosted by our own; Eric Triplett, The Pond Digger himself!
With the momentum of The Helix Pond Skimmer capturing the renowned award of POND PRODUCT OF THE YEAR in November of 2012 by Pond Trade Magazine, The Helix Display Booth was crowded non-stop!!!!
“Chin in Hand” was a popular pose at The Helix Booth as attendees witnessed the LIVE working Pond Skimmer Demo. To see photos or read about The Helix Pond Skimmer is one thing, but to see it in action, live and in person is an awakening!

The Water Garden Expo attendance has grown by leaps and bounds each year over the last decade and will no doubt become a staple “GO TO EVENT” in the pond industry for many years to come.
