Seagrave Trip - Clintonville, WI

Sunday, May 17, 2015

Early this morning four members, along with our Seagrave sales rep. Rich Bunting, head out to the Seagrave factory. Our flight was out of Philadelphia to Detroit, and then a connection flight to Green Bay. Once on the ground we had approx. a 30 min ride to the Seagrave factory, but before that we were treated to a delicious lunch at Cindy's and a game of Shake'em. After lunch we went to the factory met up with gentleman who will be responsible for the construction of the ladder truck. We were then taken on a walk through of the manufacturing part of Seagrave. That night were were treated to a delicious dinner and then off to the hotel for a goodnights rest. The next day we arrived back to the factory at 8 am on the dot, started finalization of the specs and drawing. This took about 4 1/2 hrs and then to lunch. Once back from lunch we reviewed everything again and then a last walk through to see other apparatus that were already under construction. We left Seagrave around 4 pm, for the flight back and arrived back at Station 77 at 1:30 am. A special thanks to Rich Bunting and everyone at Seagrave for their hospitality. We have 2 more trips planned between now and the middle part of January.
