Hi Ed,
While I can’t comment on Milford — It may be a wonderful vacation spot — I can say that Milford is included at the top of this release because that is where it was likely written or the home of the company that wrote it. It is a pr thing and help denote press releases from original stories. There is a also a similar show in NYC in January, so if you are looking for a vacation spot, http://www.adventureexpo.com/.
