COLOGNE — The International Hardware Fair (Eisenwarenmesse) kicked off Sunday morning to a busy start. The biannual fair is one of the largest fairs in the world and attendees from all over the globe have descended on Cologne to meet 27,000 exhibitors from 55 countries.
As is tradition, Hardlines hosted a Canada Night celebration at the end of the first day of the show. Canadians and honorary citizens gathered at the Kölschbar for a few cold local beers and even a round of the national anthem.
