MCAA - Convention Review

More information and pictures from the event can be found on the Fastest Trowel on the Block section of the MCAA website. The MCAA would like to congratulate the winners of both competitions.

Final Night Event

THE 2007 MASONRY SHOWCASE wrapped up the conference with a joint closing reception with the NCMA at Universal Studios. The event started with a private reception at The Groove Lounge and later moved to the Marvel Super Hero Island at Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure. Attendees and their guests were able to experience the thrills of Dr. Doom rocketing them 150 feet into the air, following Spider-Man high above the streets of New York City, and the horror of changing from Bruce Banner into the Hulk at speeds of over 60mph on the ultimate roller coaster adventure! The event was fun and entertaining; a great time was had by all who attended.

The 2007 Masonry Showcase was a huge success. Please visit www.masoncontractors.org for news and information about future MCAA events.
