Spring signals the start of construction season in the Midwest. To celebrate, Fabick Cat hosted its 33rd annual Season Opener April 7 to 8 at its facility at 7860 Partridge Rd. in Eau Claire, Wis.

Approximately 750 people, including customers, employees and their families were on hand at the two-day event to learn about the newest machines, products and technology Fabick Cat has to offer.

Members of the Fabick family — Jeré Fabick, chairman, CEO and dealer principal; John Fabick IV, president; and Kelli Fabick, regional sales manager — were also in attendance to join in the celebration.

Equipment demonstrations, lunch and prizes were also part of the festivities, as Cat and company representatives were on hand to share information and answer customer questions about the machines and products.

"We love to see the turnout of customers, employees and families at our Annual Eau Claire Season Opener," said Kelli Fabick. "I look forward to this event every Spring — kicking off the new season and celebrating the continued opportunity we're given to support the success of our customers each year."
