By the time the Eighth Annual Philadelphia Construction Expo in Reading, Pa., wraps up at least one guest will be very glad he or she attended.

Topping a long list of cash and valuable door prizes will be a drawing for a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck, donated by CEG Productions.

One lucky winner also will have the chance to choose between two skid steer attachments — a root grapple or a 4-in-1 bucket, both donated by Construction Implements Depot (CID) LLC.

The 8th annual construction expo will be held Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 28 and March 1, 2007. Show hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday.

Located at 2525 North 12th Street in Reading, the Greater Reading Expo Center will house approximately 85,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space for the Philadelphia Construction Expo. The center also has more than 4,000 on-site parking spaces conveniently located near the main entrance.

The expo will feature all the latest and greatest in new iron and industry services, and guests can once again show off their backhoe operating excellence in a backhoe rodeo. A total of $5,000 in cash will be up for grabs.

The Philadelphia Construction Expo is sponsored by CEG Productions, the trade show division of Construction Equipment Guide.
