Dear Reader,
The grass is always greener… when it’s artificial.
It’s a funny thing for some of us in the west. There’s just
not enough water for us to have the lawns we covet in our suburban
desert paradises. Already, in growth-charged Las Vegas, there
are specific times and dates when you may water your existing lawns
while a new measure disallows grass lawns in the front yards of
new homes.
This leaves you with two choices: desert landscaping or artificial
solutions, which are both taking root in the Southwest. But
what about the massive expanses of grass needed for soccer, baseball,
football and more?
Our previously featured company, Wicklund Holding Company, Inc.
(OTC Pink Sheets: WKDH), has announced the acquisition
of A.T.G. Sports Industries, a 24-year-old company that specializes
in the manufacture of artificial athletic surfaces for indoor and
outdoor sports applications such as tennis, soccer, football, baseball,
rugby, running tracks and field hockey.
This acquisition will add to an already potent Wicklund corporate
roster of recycled plastic-based materials. And remember,
this isn’t a concept-in-waiting. Wicklund’s products have
been used in some of the finest architectural structures in the
world including the renowned Skydome in Toronto.
Hopefully, someday sports fans sitting in the seats will be looking
down on the world's greatest athletes playing on a surface provided
by Wicklund / A.T.G. as well.
Be sure to bookmark this stock symbol WKDH and stay tuned
for further developments.
As they say, don’t let the grass grow under your feet!

highest quality, yet do not require virgin raw material. Using
recycled materials significantly reduces the cost of manufacturing
and designates Wicklund as a "green company."
Wicklund's use of environmental waste as raw material in the production
of new and innovative products will continue to reduce waste since
the new products are themselves, recyclable.

molds and patents. Wicklund products are recognized as the
