Four Show Attendees Win Prizes for Visiting LA-CO at AHR Expo

Elk Grove Village, IL - March 2011 - LA-CO Industries, Inc., a leader in specialty plumbing and HVAC chemicals for over 75 years, wanted to engage visitors at this year's AHR Expo by showing the company's appreciation for their visit to the booth with opportunities to win prizes. LA-CO presented four 2011 AHR Expo attendees with prizes for visiting the LA-CO booth during the show held in late January. Each day, while at the trade show, visitors were encouraged to stop by the LA-CO booth and scan their badge to be entered in a daily drawing. LA-CO awarded three winners with new iPods, while one Grand Prize winner, chosen after the show's conclusion, received an iPad.

"Hosting a daily drawing this year at the AHR Expo helped to bring additional attendees to our booth, while providing LA-CO with an opportunity to thank our visitors for their time and interest," said Jack Ogden, Product Marketing Manager at LA-CO Industries, Inc. "The AHR Expo is always a great experience for us at LA-CO. As a family-owned company, we understand the importance of supporting the trades, and we were happy to see so many familiar as well as new faces coming by to see the latest LA-CO product offerings."

The three iPod winners of this year's LA-CO booth drawing were: Deborah Kemp of TMG Company, LLC, Bob Pedersen of Burke Engineering Co., and Ralph Hoffman of The Cheesecake Factory. This year's Grand Prize winner of the iPad was Deloria Shuler of Reliable Parts, Inc.
