Do You Know the Fastest Trowel on the Block?

By Melissa Polivka

Contestant registration is now open for the nation's premier event featuring the industry's top masons- the annual Fastest Trowel on the Block Contest at the Masonry Showcase in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 31, 2006. This masonry competition highlights the speed, skills and craftsmanship of journeyman masons from across the country, and the winners of the contest will take home over $10,000 in cash and prizes.

Will this year's winner come from your company? Register your best masons to compete for the Grand Prize and the Glory! There are only 16 stalls available on a first-come basis. To submit a team (consisting of one journeyman mason and two tenders), register online or call the MCAA for more information.

MCAA's Fastest Trowel on the Block contest is sponsored by QUIKRETE Cement and Concrete Products. Visit them at www.quikrete.com.
