Crossroad Distributor Source Celebrates 21 Years at IFE 2025 with “Fastener Frat House” Activation

 

Crossroad Distributor Source is celebrating 21 years of serving the fastener industry and will commemorate the milestone with a unique, high-energy activation at IFE 2025 in Las Vegas this September.

At Booth #1446, Crossroad will introduce the Fastener Frat House, an immersive booth experience designed to engage attendees with games, branded giveaways, and a tournament-style competition. The activation is both a celebration of two decades of growth and a nod to the partnerships and community that have supported the company along the way.

Event Highlights

At the center of the activation is the Bucket Ball Tournament, a large-format version of a classic tailgate game. Teams will compete for prizes, industry bragging rights, and the title of the first-ever Crossroad Cup Champion. The tournament finals will be held during a Happy Hour at the end of Day 1, with beverages provided by Hayes Bolt & Supply.

The Bucket Ball Court is being made possible thanks to additional sponsorship from International Fastener Expo (IFE)and American Fastener Journal/Fastener Tech, who have partnered with Crossroad to bring this engaging event to life.

VIP team registration will open in early September, and a limited number of teams will also be able to qualify in person at Booth #1446 on Day 1 of the show.

The celebration will continue on Day 2 with a Recovery Party, where attendees can enjoy snacks, casual networking, and a few lighthearted remedies from the night before.

Join Crossroad at IFE 2025

All attendees, media, and industry partners are invited to visit the Fastener Frat House at Booth #1446 to take part in the celebration and toast to 21 years of progress, partnerships, and continued momentum in the fastener industry.
