The Connecticut Association of Street and Highway Officials Inc. (CASHO) hosted its 31st annual Equipment/Technical Show for state workers on May 13 in Wallingford, Conn. More than 150 exhibitors brought in a variety of items, from landfill compactors and bulldozers to street sweepers and concrete products. Weather, computer and engineering services as well as other support services also were represented.

In addition to the show, three technical seminars were offered; Personal Protective Equipment for Public Works, Work Zone Safety and 2010 Emission Standards. And throughout the day, attendees enjoyed a full hot and cold buffet of breakfast and lunch items.

CASHO’s mission is to stay “committed to keeping our industry on the cutting edge. Recognizing that state and municipal cuts have been severe in recent years, it is essential that funds provided are utilized as efficiently as possible. Our 31st 2010 Equipment/Technical Show is recognized as the show that public works and municipal workers can’t afford to miss. It is unique and varied in nature and [serves] as a valuable educational tool to all in the public sector.”
