I went to the show with modest expectations but was glad to see a strong turnout in our booth this year.  We entertained visitors from nearly every state and over a dozen different countries.  The outlook for the year ran from "we have no backlog of curb work" to "we're adding people" and just about everything in between.  Clearly, the passage of a stimulus package is on everyone's mind and will be a key factor in seeing how the year shakes out. 

For those of you who made the trip, thanks from all of us for visiting our booth.  Without a doubt, reconnecting with long-time customers and in some cases meeting new customers face to face for the first time is a highlight of our year.  Enjoy some downtime for the next few weeks.  Cold, wet weather won't be with us much longer and we'll soon be pouring concrete again.
