Editor’s note: The companies and associations referred to or pictured in this article paid a fee to the Auxiliary Association, Inc. to participate in the “Information Midway” depicted in this article. Neither the U.S. Coast Guard nor the Coast Guard Auxiliary endorse, in any way, these products and/or services to their respective members.

An added bonus to the Auxiliarists (and public) who visited NACON 2005 was the Auxiliary Association’s “Information Midway.” Each of the colorful and interesting displays was manned by the exhibitor’s personnel who could answer questions about their particular products and services. All of the displays featured combinations of nautical, educational or safety items and messages.

During the Friday night festivities many items that were donated by some of the exhibitors went to lucky ticket holders.
