Retailer Wins Trip To Surfaces 2005

Dallas, TX, January 14--One Surfaces 2005 attendee gets to travel to the show this year in first-class style. Gary Howard, Gil’s Carpet, Martinez, CA, won a trip for two to Surfaces through an all-new program Surfaces designed for distributors participating in the 2005 event. "We have attended Surfaces for the past 10 years or so," says Howard, "and this is, by far, the best flooring show to attend. Thank you very much for making this the best show ever." Companies participating in the Surfaces 2005 Distributor Program include: Adleta Corp. All Tile B.R. Funsten & Co. Butler-Johnson Corp. Denver Hardwood Elias Wilf Corp. Florstar Sales Galleher Inc. Herregan Distributors J.H. Freed & Sons NRF Distributors These companies helped their retailer customers get registered for this year’s show by December 15, 2004 to be qualified for a drawing to win a free trip to Surfaces. On December 16, 2004, in a random drawing from all the retailers registered by these companies by the deadline, Howard was picked as the lucky winner. He registered through Butler-Johnson Corp. "We are very happy that one of Butler-Johnson's customers will be attending Surfaces in style," says Clay Covington, general sales manager, Butler-Johnson. "We look forward to Surfaces every year. It continues to be 'the' event for our industry; for both viewing new products and in educational conferences. We encourage all of our customers to attend." Howard won two first-class roundtrip airline tickets to Surfaces 2005, hotel suite accommodations in Las Vegas, and limousine transfers to and from the airport. He also received two tickets to the highly acclaimed Mystere show while in Las Vegas. In addition, participating Distributors still have time to register attendees for Surfaces 2005 and win $25,000. The distributing company that has the most number of verified attendees will win this Grand Prize. The winner will be determined once all final registrations for Surfaces 2005 are verified.
