On Oct. 28, equipment and event rental professionals in Connecticut were invited to get together afterhours for food and drinks while experiencing the thrill of ax throwing at a unique networking event hosted by the ARA of Connecticut.
The event was held at Pine & Iron Axe Throwing, New Haven, Conn., where “it was a great time,” says attendee Ken Starr, branch manager, Taylor True Value Rental, Orange, Conn. “I like the networking of events like these. We try to keep a friendly working relationship with other rental people in the area and swap stories, and this was good to keep that up.”
Starr says the activity was so much fun that “I think I’m going to go back and do the ax throwing again on my personal time.”
Heather Frank, sales representative, Fred’s Tents and Canopies, Waterford, N.Y., agreed with Starr’s take on the event.
“It was a lot of fun at a great venue,” she says. “I am pretty sure everyone had a great time. Any time we can bring our industry together in a fun, yet competitive atmosphere, relationships are established. Events like this just strengthen our industry’s network.”
