It's a world that staggers the imagination . . . It's right out of science fiction . . . It's new, and old. It's yesterday and tomorrow. It's for the young at heart and the old in spirit. It's for mom and dad, the kids, grandma and grandpa.
And it's all a giant showcase for the skills and craftsmanship of the building trades — and particularly the United Brotherhood of Carpenters.
