MARATHON, Wis. (March 27, 2003) – On March 14-15, 2003, County Materials Stevens Point hosted a hands-on concrete stamping and staining seminar. Over 40 concrete contractors and homebuilders attended the two day event sponsored by Stampcrete International, Sweeney Materials and County Materials.

Demonstrations throughout the day were done by one of Stampcrete's New York area contractors. By using fresh concrete pours, he demonstrated the basics of decorative concrete stamping, staining, sealing, overlay techniques, coloring and other topics.

The event also provided attendees a chance to network among their peers and enjoy complimentary lunch and refreshments.

"This seminar was a wonderful opportunity for contractors and builders to see firshand how they can transform their homeowners' patios, walkways and floors into unique works of art," commented Rebecca Sonnentag, County Materials marketing director.
