I am excited to be gearing up for my annual visit out west to Vegas, baby. But alas, it is for work and no play . . . though some fine dinning might be thrown in for good measure! I’m heading to the International Builders’ Show, which will be held January 20-23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

This is the grand daddy of all builder shows, and I love walking the floor going up and down each and every aisle to see what’s new for the industry I love so much. I’ve given myself two days to see it all. That’s a tall order, so I might need to stay over a few days to recuperate.

But the demands of home will win out and I will return exhausted, I know, but excited to share what I have discovered! I wish my schedule would allow for the Grand Opening Ceremony with Lou Holtz as key note speaker. Being a University of South Carolina Gamecock myself, seeing him would be the icing on the cake!
