"Since Solair's introduction to the patio furniture market, we have partnered with more than 150 specialty retailers to help solve needs in the outdoor living space by providing high-quality, sophisticated shade solutions," said Rett Haigler, manager of Solair. "Through this contest, we hope to help one lucky retailer experience a relaxing retreat in paradise, while bringing a similar option to their customers."
