Our association is comprised of Highway Superintendents and interested Vendors from the fifty-six cities and towns in District #1. The association established a scholarship fund that is awarded annually to a child or grandchild of an active superintendent in the district. The success from the past Equipment Shows and the sale of ads in our handbook printed in the spring has enabled the association to continue with its award program. Our 2026  handbook will continue to be printed in full COLOR.

After some careful condiderations, the association will continue with this year’s 40th. Annual Equipment Show and Picnic. It will be held on, Thursday, August 28, 2025 at the Hinsdale Volunteer Fire Dept. Pavilion, 95 Maple St. (Route 143) in Hinsdale. Ma. This location allows many vendors to demonstrate their products or services be it Heavy Equipment, Maintenance, or supplies.
The day will begin at 9am; coffee and breakfast sandwiches will be available to 11am.
From 11 to noon Clam Chowder will be served. From noon until 2:30 pm there will be a cookout with Hamburg’s, Hot Dogs, and Sausage with peppers and onions, Baked Mac-n-cheese, Potato Salad, and Corn on the Cobb, Soda and water. Following the luncheon there will be a drawing for the Door Prizes that are donated by the Vendors at the show, along with a 50-50 raffle.

Again this year, we plan to distribute tickets to each of the fifty-six cities and towns in the district. This enables the Superintendents, Select board members, Mayors, and Finance Committee members to see your products. They are the holders of the “purse strings” in each community and are important elements in the decision making process.

We hope to see all our vendors and sponsors at the show this year. For those vendors who would like to demonstrate their product there is plenty of space to do so.  For those who are unable to attend, we want you to know that we both appreciate and need your financial support to keep this program afloat. Information and rate chart is being sent to you. Please contact your associates who may be interested in attending the show.

Sincerely Yours,
Jerry Coppola, Chairman, Bill Elovirta , Bob Navin , Brad Cury, Chuck Loring,
