2014 Equipment Show
& Demonstration
Our annual Equipment Show & Demonstration took place on Wednesday, September 10, 2014 at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Richmond, RI. Over 500 attendees traversed the fairgrounds, networking with and testing equipment from some great exhibitors. RI & MA DPW teams participated in trainings through the backhoe and snowplow rhodeos and a phenominal pig roast was catered by B & M Catering.
RIPWA has sponsored the winning team of this year's Snow Plow Rhodeo to attend the APWA Snow & Ice Conference and National Snow Roadeo taking place in Colorado. Congratulations to Narragansett!

A Visit to Slovakia
Members of our board made a trip to the 2013 Slovak Road Association Annual Conference and Snowplow Roadeo (which was brought over to Europe from our original snowplow rhodeo). "We were treated like kings and the show was phenominal. Pavers everywhere, the roads were a sight to see!"
