Adairsville, Ga.—FCNews is in attendance as all but four NFA members converge on Barnsley Gardens, here, to discuss new products and marketing strategies for 2021 at the NFA spring meeting.
Suppliers like Shaw Industries, Mohawk Flooring, Happy Floors and Tarkett were in attendance as were major retailers like A.J. Rose Carpets & Flooring and Bob’s Carpet & Flooring.
