Elite Crete is on the Road in ’25

Saratoga Springs, NY

Our first stop will be in Saratoga Springs for the January 25th -26th Log & Timber Design-Build Expo. But we’re not the only attraction in town. Saratoga Springs is home to America’s oldest and most popular thoroughbred racecourse, as well as the National Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame. We might check that out if we get a free minute. Or maybe the naturally carbonated mineral springs; the only ones of their kind east of the Rocky Mountains. It’s a shame we can’t stay longer, but the show must go on!

Columbus, OH

For a rare two show weekend, we’re gonna split up after Saratoga. Half are going to Pennsylvania, and the rest of us are heading to the Buckeye State. The Columbus Log & Timber Design-Build Expo is from January 31st – February 2nd. We won’t have much time to enjoy the sites around town, like the #5 nationally ranked Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, as we’ve got to hustle back to PA to join the rest of the team. But we might grab some of Katalina’s famous pancake balls on the way out of town.

Harrisburg, PA

We are excited to make our debut at the week-long American Great Outdoors Show. This is a massive show that features over 1,000 exhibitors and covers 650,000 square feet of exhibit hall space! With a jam-packed schedule including, speaking events, archery competitions, celebrity appearances, seminars, & demonstrations, there may be too much to see in only 9 days!

Now, we’ve gotta get way down to Georgia in only a few days, but we’ll see you again very soon, PA!

Dalton, GA

It’s a long road to Dalton from Harrisburg but home happens to be right along the route. I’m sure we’ll all be longing for the comfort of our own personal pillows and mattresses (and the loving embrace of family, of course) so a night or two’s stay should do us all good. After a quick refresh we’ll head down to the carpet capital of the world for the Dalton, GA Log & Timber Design-Build Expo on Valentine’s weekend. If you love log homes (but not the maintenance) then take your sweetie out to the show!

Allentown, PA

Back up to Pennsylvania we go… this time to historic Allentown. We Elite-Cretans dig some American history, so we know Allentown’s little secrete. Ring the bell if you know it, too. (hint)

We may take the scenic route so we can enjoy some of Lehigh County’s quaint and photogenic covered bridges, but on Feb 28th – March 1st we’ll be all business at the Allentown, PA Log & Timber Design-Build Expo.

Rogers, AR

We go from covered bridges to natural bridges as we travel from Eastern Pennsylvania to the heart of the Ozarks, one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country. The city of Rogers boasts a nice temperature and encourages active outdoor lifestyles. Nearby plateaus, mountains, and crystal-clear lakes make life here peaceful and pleasant. At least until tornado season. Fortunately for Rogers (and all of Tornado Alley) we will be displaying our concrete log wall system, engineered to withstand 250 mph winds, at the Arkansas Log & Timber Design-Build Expo from March 14th – 15th.

Boise, ID

After enjoying a well-deserved, three-week break from the road we will once again kiss our wives and babies good-bye and head out west. It’s a long drive, but the 2,100+ mile route will deliver us into a slice of heaven. As beautiful as Idaho is, the land is considered risky for wildfire, flooding, and earthquakes. And snow. Lots of snow. We expect our resilient and structural concrete logs to get a lot of attention from locals at the Boise Log & Timber Design-Build Expo in early April.

Burlington, VT

The show schedule is starting to slow down, but the destinations are getting further apart. After another 2-3 week stay at home, we will be heading back to Burlington! We enjoyed Vermont and Lake Champlain in 2023 but were unable to come back last year. Making a return to the Burlington VT Log & Timber Design-Build Expo, we are excited to see old friends and restock our Maple syrup. And before making that 1,000-mile trip back home, we may meander down Church Street Marketplace for that world famous apple pie!

Estes Park, CO

For the last show of the season, we will once again load up the truck and head west. 1,400 miles later we will find ourselves at the gateway of the Rocky Mountain National Park. Estes Park isn’t the biggest city around, but you just might see some pretty big bear, elk, or moose while you’re there.

We are excited to extend our reach into the western and Rocky Mountain states. With any luck, we’ll be back in this part of the country very soon.
