Thanks Ron. Other than the ad Celeste posted for us, I haven't had time to explore ways we can get the word out about the Concrete Decor Show next week in Phoenix. Is there anything else you can do to help us? FYI... My wife Sheri Mikkelsen will be managing the Registration Counter during show hours. If you see her, please introduce yourself and she can find me. Listen to Rosie on the House next Saturday. They are providing some great radio support.

Some of you may already be involved in concrete cleaning but it occurred to me the other day, when reading a column by Mike Miller in our May edition of Concrete Decor, that maintaining decorative concrete projects is not often in the scope of a concrete contractors services. The importance of maintaining decorative concrete applications has been a sujec tof many articles unfortunately many concrete professionals prefer to place concrete slabs with integral or topical colors and textures but leave the maintenance to someone else. I can identify close to a dozen maintenance opportunities in the short 12 mile drive from my office to home here in Eugene, Oregon. Herein are an array of cleaning, resealing, and color enhancing opportunities utilizing a wide range of products that are showcased in Concrete Decor or online at concretedecor.net. The minute someone invests in something more than standard grey concrete, they want to keep that investment looking its very best.
