2008 Annual Honest Abe Dealer Convention

.
.
Honest Abe Log and Timber Frame Homes hosted the 2008 Annual Dealer Convention at Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville recently. Sally and I have attended event for the third time. If you have not been to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and enjoyed their three interior atriums, add it to your list. Here are a few highlights from the convention . . .

Well over 100 dealers and their families attended the convention. We were delighted to hear several vendors mention “integrity” as one of the cornerstones of their relationship with the staff at Honest Abe.

It was announced that a new 6x12 D log with dovetail corners is now available along with the economical 6x8 D log. These log styles compliment our selections of 8x8 D and round logs, 6x12 flat logs, 6x10 chinked logs and 10 inch round logs.

Sally and I were honored to receive a Top 5 Dealership Award in 2007 by Honest Abe Log Homes.

Dealers with 25, 50, 75 and 100 sales were identified. Those are phenomenal achievements.

Dinner Friday evening was held on the stage of the new Grand Ole Opry. Honest Abe Log Homes is one of the long time radio sponsors of the Grand Ole Opry. Our speaker for the evening was Ralph Emery, long time radio and television host of numerous programs over the years that focused on the stars at the Music City. His treasury of stories about the celebrities who have graced his stage and studio were memorable.

But wait, there is more . . .

Sansin Enviro Stain. We are very proud to offer stain for your decks, docks, fences, wood siding, log walls and furniture. Sansin stains penetrate to the cell level of wood and strengthen it. It does not lay a film on the surface of the wood to lock in moisture build up [causing rot problems].

- Sansin PTL stain can be applied immediately to new pressure treated decks.
-
- Add Sansin Purity stain to your interior wood and log walls. It will prevent food and finger blemishes and odors from penetrating the wood.
