Thursday brings an exciting close to the Supply Summit with a brand-new event—the Cornhole Tournament. This friendly competition will give participants a chance to test their skills, enjoy some lighthearted rivalry, and compete for prizes along with well-earned bragging rights. A special thank you goes to the tournament sponsors: Egbers, Fisher Barton, Muir Omni Graphics, Myers Spring, and The Hose Company.

Following the tournament, the celebration continues as more than 100 members head to the Caloosa Sound Amphitheater on the downtown Fort Myers waterfront for the 75th Anniversary Kickoff Event. This evening promises a mix of entertainment, networking, and great company in a beautiful outdoor setting.

The highlight of the night will be an energetic and interactive performance by Bruce Barker, known as “The Piano Man.” His signature style encourages audience participation, making for an unforgettable evening of music and entertainment. Adding to the experience, FEMA’s own J.C. Hatton will also take the stage, making this a night to remember.

If you haven’t yet signed up for the Cornhole Tournament or the Anniversary Kickoff, there’s still time to be part of the fun. To add these events to your registration, call the Association at (314) 878-2304 or email Sarah@FarmEquip.org for more information.
