Hinshaw Wins Coverings Harley

Chicago, IL. April 26, 2007--Keith E. Hinshaw, a stone contractor who this month attended Coverings for the fourth consecutive year, said he “felt like he won the lottery” when he was randomly selected to receive this year’s grand prize giveaway at the four-day tile and stone expo: a brand-new, 2007 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy motorcycle, valued at $17,000. The raffle was sponsored by the National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA) and Alibaba.com, the world’s largest B2B marketplace for global trade, both of whom were exhibitors at this year’s show. The NTCA is also a Coverings sponsor.  

“I was so surprised. I’ve never won anything in my life!” said Hinshaw, owner of Insignia Stone in Lenox Hills, IL. “I’m a motorcycle enthusiast and I already own two Harleys—this new bike is a great addition to my collection. I can’t wait to take a ride on it!”

Hinshaw was excited to attend Coverings again this year—and was especially happy to see it return to Chicago after a 15-year absence. “I was thrilled that the show was right in my own backyard this time around,” he said. “Coverings is a terrific show unlike any other. The networking opportunities that  Coverings offers can’t be beat—from the show floor to the free educational sessions to the after-hours events. Attending the show is indispensable to my business. This year in particular, I gained many contacts that will benefit my company tremendously. I’m looking forward to attending again next year in Orlando.”

According to Coverings show management, the motorcycle drawing attracted approximately 10,000 entries.
