The SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500® Chicago Regional was a success, held on Friday, August 15 at PCI in Elburn, Illinois. There were great competitors, great weather and a good time celebrating the Masonry Trade and the men who support it.
There were 10 competitors from 8 companies representing Illinois and Indiana. Each competitor represented themselves, their families and the Masonry Trade well.
The quality of the walls was better than last year and the brick counts were still high. PCI looks forward to sponsoring the 1st Place and the Craftsmanship winners from our local BRICKLAYER 500 in the 2009 National SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500® this January in Las Vegas at the World of Masonry.
A special “Thank You” goes out to our Judges and Sponsors who assisted in making this a successful event.
