We hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend! It was a pretty quiet week for the frac sand industry. We expect to have some more news next week. We did have some great initial discussions with the Grapevine Convention & Visitor’s Bureau and we should have some fun additional activities during the 10th Annual Frac Sand Supply & Logistics Conference. Please plan on bringing spouses and family if you can!
And now, the news…
