Blanchard Machinery hosted an open house event at its Spartanburg, S.C., compact equipment store and The CAT Rental Store April 19.

Torrential downpours rained out the traditional tours of the facilities and grounds, but it didn’t dampen the spirits of the Blanchard staff and the more than 250 guests in attendance.

In between rain showers, operators had the opportunity to make a run at the excavator rodeo event. All attendees enjoyed a barbeque dinner. A huge tent was put up to keep the guests dry as they looked over machines and products on display including Cat compact equipment, New Holland, Loegering, Wacker and Toro products.

Plenty of door prizes were awarded throughout the night and product specials including discounted skid steer tire and wheel assemblies and hydraulic hose service specials for all makes and models were available.
