Company Wrench, Party Plus and Taylor Rental of Lancaster sponsored the Second Annual Operator for a Day, a free family fun day at the Company Wrench headquarters in Carroll, Ohio. The charitable event provided the opportunity for men, women and children of all ages to climb behind the controls to see what it’s like to actually operate large pieces of equipment traditionally used in construction, demolition and recycling. Company Wrench says 2,500 visitors attended the three-day event.
Guests had the opportunity to operate Terex-Fuchs material handlers, Kobelco excavators, Gehl skid steers, track loaders and miniexcavators, Dressta bulldozers and Liugong wheel loaders.
Many sponsors throughout the central Ohio area supported the event by pledging monetary support and items for the raffle. Major sponsors included Company Wrench, Party Plus, Taylor Rental of Lancaster, Terex-Fuchs, Stebelton, Aranda & Snider Law Firm, Nauman Outdoor Advertising, Screen Machine, LaBounty, Peoples Bank, Cintas, Triple S Tire, DNC Hydraulics and Midwest Equipment.
In addition to a raffle, Operator for a Day t-shirts were sold, a 50/50 drawing was held, door prizes were awarded and many food venders were on hand, including charitable groups from Carroll, Fairfield Union and Lancaster High Schools and Bernie Union Baseball & Softball Association. The United Way and The Make A Wish Foundation were on hand to educate guests on their charitable endeavors.
