Planter Clinic

The business with Brent's with Precision Planting dealership has continued to grow and evolve.  Consequently, Progressive Crop Systems has been born and we hosted our first planter clinic.  Like most things, it turned into a family affair.

I served as the event planner and coordinated everything from the invitation design and printing, down to the meal and registration.

  

The kids were recruited to help us assemble some folders that contained contact information and brochures.

The kitchen became our assembly line.  The kids loved being part of the factory.  And let me tell you, Dalanie can be quite a slave driver.  She hardly gave me a break to feed Delsie.

 

We pulled the kids out of school so they could be involved and help, which meant they spent the entire day with me at the meeting.  We had to be to the convention center bright and early to set up.   They helped pass out folders and distribute pens.  So by time the meeting was underway, all available devices were employed to keep them entertained.

The crowd was quite family friendly and the kids actually made all sorts of friends.  The girls especially liked one particular salesman that sat on the couch and showed them all sorts of pictures and movies on his iPad.  Delsie made her big debut at four weeks of age.

  Since the meeting was in Burley, Dad came out for lunch.  It was a 'pink shirt day.'

We had the regional manager from Precision Planting there to help present alongside Brent.  Since this was the first event like this, we didn't know what to expect.  We had the room packed and had to pull out more tables for lunch.  It was a success with over 100 people in attendance.  And they seemed to value it since most stayed the entire day from 8:30-3:30.
