CHBC Shines at World of Concrete

The Concrete Home Building Council joined the 90,000+ attendees from around the world at the 2008 World of Concrete in the Las Vegas Convention Center January 21-25.

CHBC Members Harry Junk and Kyle Smith

In the South Hall, attendees gathered at the CHBC Exhibit Booth to learn more about the residential concrete industry. Many could be found entering the CHBC raffle for the Nintendo Wii Gaming System.

Congratulations to Spencer Bailey from Perfect Polish in Tennessee who officially won the Nintendo Wii raffle. The winner was selected at random.

In the North Hall, over 75 students participated in the CHBC’s Insulating Concrete Forms Installation Class. Taught by Donn Thompson from the Portland Cement Association, the class included both builders brand new to ICFs along side those experienced in the industry.

The CHBC was a proud education sponsor of the 2008 World of Concrete - the most in depth in the industry, featuring more than 150 educational sessions in targeted tracks.
