Family Night at Tournament Tests Mohawk Carpet

Charleston, SC, April 16, 2010--Tennis fans at the Family Circle Cup tournament threw everything they could at Mohawk's SmartStrand carpet during Mohawk's Family Night event.

Mohawk treated kids 16 and under to free admission and letting everyone in attendance take their best shots at SmartStrand carpet during the “Mess-Makers Challenge,” with events like “Bowling for Disaster,” “Red Punch Relay,” and “Balloon Toss” with mustard filled balloons.

After the fun, Mohawk Handyman Chip Wade led an on-site clean-up of the carpet, using water and mild cleaners, and the carpetg came clean.

“This was a great opportunity to show people that you can truly live on this carpet,” said David Duncan, vice president of marketing for Mohawk.

Mohawk is also demonstrating the durability of SmartStrand carpet in the stadium entrance and exit walkways.
