Dakotafest Story

Weather

There was a storm the 1st day.  Dakotafest was closed for the safety of the attendees and exhibitors.  We were able to enter the grounds later in the day to check on the site.  We, like many exhibitors, had our canopies destroyed.  We luckily found one of the last ones and got all set up again and ready to go.  The second two days were gorgeous.

Meeting Top-Spread Owners

We got to meet a lot of great folks and talk with people about their processing needs.  We also had the chance to meet Top-Spread owners in person and hear about their experiences.  This was our favorite part.  We talk with lots of folks on the phone, but don't get to see them in person.  We also enjoy learning about what new things they are doing.

Winner

During Dakotafest, we had a sign up to win a toolbox full of tools.  We drew Mike from Moorland, Iowa as the lucky winner.  This is exciting to us because he is one of the people that ordered his own Top-Spread!  Congrats to Mike and thanks to all that entered.  Folks that ordered their own Top-Spread at the show also received a free 3/4" wrench.

Our Neighbors

We had Morris Equipment Bobcat Dealers of Mitchell as our neighbors and they were great!  They helped us unload the spreaders and load up our customers picking theirs up from the show.  Tim over at Hoop Beef Systems was also a huge help.  Top-Spread works great with their hoop building set up to bed with and not have debris flying at your cover.  He made sure people found their way back to our location.

Overall, Dakotafest was a success thanks to all who came out and helped us!  We are glad we participated and met so many great folks.

You're Invited!

We are excited for so many opportunities to meet folks and learn about their processing needs.  There are four great ways for us to meet personally with folks.

Iowa State Fair

Stop by and chat with Matt or John Schneider from Schneider Farms in the Friedman Farm Supply booth just outside the Varied Industries Building August 13th-23rd in Des Moines, Iowa.  They will have a Top-Spread on location as well as videos and information!  Tell them you heard about them on this blog.

Dakotafest

This is a large farm show that is held annually with over 30,000 visitors.  This will take place August 18th-20th on Schlaffman Farm in Mitchell, South Dakota.  This is our first time attending this show, not to mention being an exhibitor!  We have been working diligently to prepare handouts, signage, giveaways, promotions, etc. while keeping costs low to provide affordable equipment for you.

The show also provides us with an opportunity to deliver folks their Top-Spread for pick up after the show at a discounted price.  We only have one of these spots remaining if you would like to be included.  We are looking forward to meeting folks that we have had phone conversations with in person and learning about their fall plans.



We will have two promotions at the show: the first is a giveaway.  We have a toolbox full of lifetime warranty tools valued at over $200 for one lucky winner.  The second is our fall order program.  Sign up when you want your Top-Spread delivered, provide a small down payment, and receive a gift with purchase!  So stop by and see us at our booth #1034 on the north side right next to the Bobcat dealers.

2015 Iowa Roadside Vegetation Management Conference

We are invited to participate in this conference made up of Iowa County representatives, DOT personnel, utility folks, and more.  It will take place in Iowa City and we even have the chance to demo Top-Spread with the help of one of our dealers, Schneider Farms.

Personal Demonstrations at the Shop

This is our personal favorite.  We invite anyone to come see Top-Spread in action.  We just need a heads up so we are sure to have a unit, skid steer, and bale handy.  We enjoy being able to have folks touch and see Top-Spread in person and we are able to provide personalized attention to you.

Long Post today, so you know about all of our upcoming events!  Follow us on Twitter for the updates on event happenings.
