Yancey Bros. Co. sales reps promised their customers a barbecue lunch as part of its “Customer Appreciation Day,” but the folks from across northwest Georgia who traveled to Calhoun on Sept. 24 got a lot more than well cooked pork and fellowship.

Yancey put out a large display of construction and agricultural equipment at its Calhoun store for this year’s customer appreciation event. New to most of the guests was the full line of Challenger ag tractors and hay equipment now sold by Yancey. The company also announced that “The Cat Rental Store” will be opening an equipment rental facility by the end of the year alongside Yancey’s heavy equipment location just north of exit 318 on I-75 and Highway 41.

The Cat Rental Store will carry a full line of Caterpillar equipment plus dozens of other construction-related equipment lines from allied vendors.
