2024 Operators Expo Recap

Southern - Huntingburg, IN / Northern - Akron, IN

Our Southern and Northern Expos held last month were both big successes. Between our demonstrators and operators, over 500 people attended our Expos this year! The weather in Huntingburg and Akron was picture-perfect. Each day was filled with demos, contests, networking, and…eating! Thanks to our lunch sponsors, we piled our plates high with delicious food. Both events featured our 'famous' hog roast, which was graciously donated and cooked by Water Solutions Unlimited.

 

The Meter Toss, Backhoe Rodeos, and the Expoo Royal Flush contests provided chances to win cash and prizes, and didn't disappoint in the fun! 1st Place for each contest won $50 cash, and 2nd Place won an Alliance camping chair.  New this year in Huntingburg Was the Clamp Champ contest sponsored by Smyth-Blair.  The 1st place team won a tool bag loaded with gift cards, tools, and prizes, the 2nd place team won restaurant gift cards, and 3rd place team took home lotto tickets. 

 

The winners of the Regional Water Taste Test were chosen. Fort Wayne emerged victorious in the 2nd Regional Water Taste Test in Huntingburg, while the City of Connersville claimed the top spot in the 3rd Regional Water Taste Test in Akron. Their success is a testament to their commitment to quality and taste. We congratulate them and look forward to their participation in the Best Tasting Water in Indiana Contest, which will be held at the Grand Wayne Convention Center during our Fall Conference.
