LOUISVILLE, KY — It pays to attend GIE+EXPO. Just ask Erin McKay, guest of JPH Lawn and Landscape of Bourbonnais, IL. McKay won $5,000 just by attending the show and visiting the exhibits of the participating truck manufacturers at the Green Industry & Equipment Expo.

The giveaway featured five major truck manufacturers including Ford Commercial Truck; Isuzu Commercial Truck America; GM Fleet and Commercial; Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America and Toyota Motor Sales USA.

No purchase was necessary for the contest. Participants had to visit each truck company’s exhibit to collect the posted contest numbers and deliver the completed entry form to the feature display. The drawing was held at noon, Saturday, Oct. 31, the final day of the trade show.
