The Nebraska Lumber Dealers Convention was again held at The Cornhusker Hotel in Lincoln – building on the success from last year. The educational seminars, in particular the “Green Building – Nebraska Certified Home” presentation, were well attended and the Ballroom and Atrium were full with suppliers on hand to talk to the dealers who were there from across the state.

At the Exhibitor Reception, awards were presented to Bob Mead, Mead Lumber Company – York as the Lumber Dealer of the Year, Jeff Gorden, Guardain Building Products, as Marketing Representative of the Year and Steve Sprenger accepted the award for Sprenger Midwest as Supplier Company of the Year.
