Call for Artists!
As we all know, Construction Junction is holding our annual fundraiser, the Steel City Big Pour, on Saturday, September 11, 2010, and we need you for our "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" idea!
Our goal is to put 100 artist-adapted bottles of beer on display. Any bottle will do, or create your own 3D representation of a bottle. Any accepted bottle that is turned in will receive a $10 coupon for your next purchase at Construction Junction! We'll also have a People's Choice Award for the most popular bottle. The winner will take home the top prize of $150 and be granted lifetime bragging rights.
So you want to be involved? Ok... do this:
Send your name, address and phone number to Jen at 100bottles@flyspaceproductions.com to register and get more details.
May you have the fairest bottle on the wall!

CJ Q&A
I was wondering if you were aware of any establishments like Construction Junction in Dallas TX? That's where I live. Thanks -- Jennifer
In our opinion, the Building Material Reuse Association has the best national listing of organizations like Construction Junction. Go to their website (http://www.bmra.org/) and click on the directory link to search by your geographical area. Happy reusing! -- Cozmo
