Despite reports from numerous vendors that they will not visit Salt Lake City this summer, Outdoor Retailer's organizers said this week that attendee registration numbers for the 2009 OR Summer Market show are meeting benchmarks from this time last year. According to the organizers, if registration numbers continue to growing at the current rate, Outdoor Retailer will be on track to meet – and possibly exceed – the number of 2008 attendees. Free retailer registration ended at midnight on Tuesday, June 16.
