Organizers of Spoga, the international trade fair for Sport, Camping and Garden Lifestyle, have changed the dates for its next showing in Cologne, Germany, to Sept. 6-8, 2009.

Originally the fair was planned for the last weekend in August. A vote by spoga exhibitors in favor of a September date combined with other changes in the tight autumn fairs schedule to prompt the date changes.

“With the new date we can once again accommodate the great majority of our exhibitors and visitors who prefer to come to Cologne in September rather than August,” said Oliver P. Kuhrt, executive vice president of Koelnmesse GmbH.
