 he Home Builders Association estimated that over 12,000 people attended the 2008 Sioux Falls Home Show. Approximately 2,500 people visited our booth. The Home Show is the biggest event of the year for our countertop division and this year was no exception. We debuted our granite and tile products as well as a new black undermount sink for laminate and the reception was outstanding.
 Our booth incorporated product samples, sink options, large scale photography and a slide show of product examples in kitchens, vanities and fireplace surrounds on a flat panel screen. Homeowners could see and touch Cambria, granite, accent tile and other natural stone samples for a more in- depth look. We also displayed a free-standing Cambria island in a popular color, Ashford, and paired it with a solid Black Walnut bar top for a sharp combination look.
 e also introduced an exciting promotion that will run through April: A free stainless steel sink and a free large polished cutout with granite and Zodiaq countertop orders of 30 square feet or more.

all Golf (miniature golf at The Empire Mall in Sioux Falls) wrapped up at the end of February and we were happy with the results. The Stone Center partnered with Deffenbaugh Homes and Executive Landscapes to modify our “Plinko” hole with a new water feature and fountain. We heard great feedback on our hole and the event in general. The fund-raiser generated over $40,000 for local charities and we feel fortunate to be able to assist the Home Builders Association with great projects like Mall Golf.
