Work Hard, Play Harder!

At Platte Valley Equipment, we work and play harder! Platte Valley Equipment held its annual company picnic on June 13 at the North Bend Park, and what a day it was! Our amazing employees and their families gathered for an afternoon packed with softball, delicious food, refreshing fun, and plenty of laughter.

Fun for the Whole Family

The day offered something for everyone. Families enjoyed a wide variety of yard games and inflatable attractions that kept both kids and adults entertained. Whether it was friendly competition in cornhole or racing through the blow-ups, there was never a dull moment. And with the sun shining bright, the pool was a major hit. There’s nothing better on a hot summer day than cooling off with a cannonball or splashing around with friends.

Food, Glorious Food


Of course, no picnic is complete without food, and this year’s spread did not disappoint. Our talented sales team grilled up classic picnic fare—hot dogs and burgers—with all the fixings and plenty of tasty sides. Later in the day, everyone gathered for supper featuring locally catered fried chicken that was nothing short of mouthwatering. It’s safe to say no one left hungry!

Softball Showdown


The highlight of the day was the annual Platte Valley Equipment Softball Tournament. The competition kicked off with a high-energy rematch: Clarkson vs. Wahoo. Wahoo entered as the favorite, having taken home the trophy in the past. The game was close, with playful banter between coaches and some tight calls. But in the end, Clarkson pulled off a thrilling underdog victory to advance to the finals.

Road to the Finals


The second match featured Humphrey vs. Fremont. This game was much closer than last year’s and, fortunately, injury-free. Humphrey gave it their all but came up just short, allowing Fremont to move on.

Clarkson’s Championship Moment


In the championship game, Clarkson faced off against Fremont. Thanks to some standout plays by their service tech interns and strong performances deep in the lineup, Clarkson claimed their first-ever championship in the annual tournament!

Cheers to a Great Day


Congratulations to Team Clarkson! And a big thanks to Justin for the celebratory popsicles that hit the spot after a fun-filled day.
