West Side Tractor Sales Co. held its second annual Indiana Golf Outing Aug. 20 at the Fort Golf Course in Indianapolis.
More than 100 players from 30 different companies throughout the state of Indiana participated in the event. The winners of the day included Pat Conley of Miller Pipeline with the longest drive; John Grigsby of L.E. Myers with the “closest to the pin,” and Wade Stevens of Rumpke of Indiana with the longest putt.
“Allie Gator,” the star of West Side’s Pink Gator fundraiser, made an appearance and guests could purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win Allie. All proceeds from the Pink Gator Fundraiser will be donated to the YWCA Women’s Cancer Program in Lafayette, Ind. To date, more than $8,000 has been raised. The winner will be announced in October during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
2012 marks West Side’s 50th anniversary. Started in 1962, West Side began with one John Deere construction and forestry dealership with three employees on the “west side” of Chicago. Fifty years later, the third-generation family operation now serves more than 80 counties with 10 locations spanning across Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.
