This month’s Lumber Shorts includes these stories and more:

• Get in Early and Claim Your Spot: Exhibit space at EXPO 2027 is following a similar pattern to previous show cycles. Sales opened in early summer, and with advertising campaigns now ramping up, interest is accelerating. About 45% of exhibit space remains, and the advance discount deadline has been extended—giving exhibitors a little more time to lock in savings before that window closes. EXPO 2027 runs August 18–20 in Savannah, Georgia.
• Southern Pine is a strong, sustainable, and versatile choice for projects across residential, commercial, and finish applications. To equip members and industry partners to make the most of this material, SFPA provides insight on best practices for storage, moisture management, and project performance, along with resources for DIY projects. Get the standards, supply, and technical guidance you need, all in one place.
• Member Highlights: This month, we’re pleased to recognize Fulghum Industries, which is celebrating seventy years since its founding on November 7, 1956.
