: International Builders Show 2012 in Orlando FL

We spent the last week, February 8th through the 12th, at the NAHB International Builders Show in Orlando, FL. The NAHB IBS is one of the largest building industry tradeshows in the world. In it’s 68th year, the show exceeds 500,000 sq ft of exhibit space attracting well over 50,000 exhibitors and attendees. The show also offered 200+ education sessions. Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve Chairman, was guest speaker. He cautioned there just isn’t a single solution to the housing market situation and indicated a strong need for the policy makers and private sectors to work together in developing and implementing policies to help the still weak housing market. Overall, we gathered valuable educational and new project information at the show and would say the atmosphere was cautiously optimistic.

Our Booth at Flathead Valley Home and Garden

We would like to thank all the people who visited our booth during the Flathead Valley Home and Garden Showcase, March 18th through the 20th in Kalispell, Montana. The show was a great success and we met many wonderful people from Montana and surrounding states plus Canada with optimistic outlooks and a true interest in custom home building and remodels. Our booth was also successful in winning two local award ribbons: Best of Show and Best Selling Power! We had a great time and look forward to meeting with many of you again in the near future.

Why Montana??

People who have never visited Montana sometimes ask, “Why do you live in Northwest Montana?” The only possible answer is to say with a smile, “Have you ever been to Northwest Montana?

It may sound like a cliché, but Northwest Montana is indeed a slice of heaven. There’s the breathtaking beauty of the Montana mountains including the Rocky Mountain range. There’s the numerous crystal clear lakes and streams, including Flathead Lake which is the largest fresh water lake this side of the Mississippi. There’s the beauty and grandeur of Glacier Park. But, Montana has something else equally impressive to offer. We are one of only two states in the Nation in the black! In addition, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Chamber Foundation have ranked us the No. 1 state for entrepreneurship and overall business start-up activity. So, whether you are looking for a wonderful place to retire where you can fish, hunt, hike and enjoy all that Nature has to offer, or whether you are looking for a place to start a new business, Montana is the State for You!
