The Northeast Florida Builders Association’s 37th annual Trade Expo will be from 5-9 p.m. April 27 at the Morocco Center on Jacksonville’s St. Johns Bluff Rd.
Part of the show will be the American Dream Tour, which will bring more than 15 major building-product manufactures including Andersen Windows, Therma-Tru Corp., MI Home Products Inc., LP, and Masonite.
Four Dodge Ram heavy-duty trucks will arrive at the Trade Expo pulling four Featherlite trailers containing 27,000 pounds of the latest building innovations and products. This will allow Expo-goers to see product demonstrations, meet with manufacturers’ representatives and enter a sweepstakes to win prizes - including a brand-new Dodge Ram pickup truck.
“The American Dream Tour is its own mini-trade show, and we expect it to be a big draw, especially with the chance to be in the drawing for the Dodge Ram giveaway,” said Bruce Peters, a member of the NEFBA executive committee and a representative of ppw/DuPont Tyvek, a show sponsor. “We urge everyone to come out and take advantage of all the exhibits, classes and opportunities to network. The show is always a lot of fun.”
The American Dream Tour will visit 20 cities across the United States in a five-month period beginning in March.
More than 200 exhibitors will display their wares and services at the NEFBA Trade Show.
Admission is free and a complimentary dinner will be served between 5 and 6 p.m. No children will be admitted to the Trade Expo.
