SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The General Merchandise Distributors Council's GM Marketing Conference celebrated its 25th anniversary here last month with a Wild West party at Rawhide, Arizona's largest Western theme attraction.
holesalers and suppliers feasted at a cookout. While some line-danced, others twirled lariats, roped calves and practiced their skills as hip shooters in a quick-draw six-gun contest. There were even live camel rides.
