Ed Eaton from Passages, the bookstore at Dallas-area Gateway Church is the winner of the iPad prize offered as part of Christian Retailing's online Virtual Christian Retailing Show.

Eaton was chosen at random from more than 750 entries from visitors who registered at participating suppliers' virtual "booths."

Running through Labor Day, Sept. 6, the show is helping stores set themselves for the fall and Christmas seasons with product news, order specials and training. It is the magazine's fourth virtual trade event since debuting the innovative program last year.

More than 30 suppliers are taking part in the event, including Thomas Nelson, Tyndale House Publishers, Baker Publishing Group and David C. Cook. Supplier presentations include details of key new and recent releases and links for orders and catalogs.

Additional features include Christian Retailing editors hosting roundtable discussions with suppliers and retailers on industry trends and issues. Free access to the event is available at http://vcrs.christianretailing.com.
