To thank the community for the hospitality shown toward its newest store, Swanston Equipment held an open house at its newly renovated Bobcat dealership at 3818 Nevada St., Alexandria, Minn., on Sept. 27.

Customers were invited to register for a Bobcat ZT2000 mower giveaway; win various door prizes; enjoy a lunch of pulled pork sandwiches catered by Depot Smokehouse; and enjoy a 10 percent discount on all Bobcat parts.

The 12,000-sq.-ft- building was completely renovated this past summer, updating the showroom, parts area and service area. The shop houses three double bays with an overhead crane. Air conditioning and a heated floor also were added.
