HUMMER Sweepstakes at Builders’ Show

Syngenta, manufacturer of IMPASSE® Termite Blocker, will be conducting a sweepstakes to win a two-year lease to a 2005 HUMMER H2 at the International Builders’ Show in Orlando, FL.

The HUMMER sweepstakes is open only to registered attendees at IBS. The sweepstakes will be conducted at the IMPASSE Termite Blocker booth in the North/South Hall — booth #S11451.

One winner will be chosen at the conclusion of the trade show on Sunday, Jan. 16. The winner will be announced the following day and does not need to be present at the time of the drawing.

The HUMMER H2 will be leased from a dealership near the winner’s hometown. After the lease is completed, the winner will have the option to purchase the HUMMER or return it to the dealer.

Official sweepstakes rules are available at the IMPASSE Termite Blocker Booth #S11451. For more information, visit www.impasse.com.
