Shaw Hosts Retailers at Presidential Library

Dalton, GA, Nov. 16, 2010 -- Shaw Industries hosted Texas-based retailers on Oct. 28 at the opening of Laura Bush’s The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection and First Ladies Red Dress Collection at the George Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas.

The special exhibit, featuring Shaw’s Anso nylon carpet, includes a collection of red dresses worn by numerous celebrities and first ladies in an effort to raise awareness of heart related diseases in women. Shaw signage will be displayed prominently throughout the 11-month exhibit.

More than 20 retailers attended the exhibit’s ribbon cutting. Retailers enjoyed the unique opportunity of meeting President George H. W. Bush, former First Lady Barbara Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush during the VIP Reception.

The opportunity was brought to Shaw by Chuck Moreau, owner of Moreau Enterprises, Inc., a local retailer in College Station, Texas. Scott Raisor, one of Moreau’s sales associates, was contacted by the Bush Library museum curator, who was looking for white carpet for the exhibit.
