The 2016 Equipment Show
and Demonstration proved to be a gorgeous day to get some training accomplished and also for workers to show off their skills! Many R.I. cities and towns participated in trainings throughout the day. Backing with a compressor, backhoe rhodeo, safety quiz and a snow plow slalom were a few of the ways crews and individuals could brush up on their skills. Thanks to all who helped and all our great vendors for participating and making it such a success! Watch for more info in our upcoming newsletter!
