Vermeer of Texas-Louisiana, Bobcat of Lubbock Host Tailgate

Vermeer of Texas-Louisiana and Bobcat of Lubbock held their annual Tailgate Party on Oct. 20 at the Lubbock branch the two companies share.

Each year, the event draws hundreds of customers who are treated to a terrific lunch, Vermeer and Bobcat "swag" and the opportunity to win tickets to a Texas Tech game. This year's drawing was for tickets to the TCU game on Nov. 2.

A similar event was held in Waco, Texas, in September at the companies' facility in Elm Mott, where tickets were awarded to a Baylor game.

Both events also offered customers the chance to view diverse equipment offered at a single location — ranging from Vermeer's large trenching and drilling equipment to the popular compact excavators and loaders from Bobcat.

It was a group effort as staffers from both companies set up for the event, cooked a great meal for a couple hundred customers and answered questions about Vermeer drilling, trenching and chipping products, as well as Bobcat’s compact equipment from mowers to excavators.

Jason Rush (L), Vermeer Texas-Louisiana COO, traveled from company headquarters in the DFW area to meet customers and employees in Lubbock, and no doubt talked some business with Jeff Rethmeier, regional manager.
