Lee-Smith, Inc.

We got to take the Beetlejuice Truck out one more time last week for the Trunk or Treat event at the Austin Hatcher Foundation Foundation!

Fierce competition was had at this year’s 2024 TCAPWA/SWANA Equipment Rodeo! We were proud to host our friends in public works as they came out to compete and support their colleagues in various contests that showcased the incredible work they do every day.

Congratulations to all the participants and those who helped make this event a great success and congratulations to the TCAPWA and SWANA for organizing and conducting the event.

A special thanks to these guys
Steve Harper and Keith Evans

Say “congrats” to the winner of this year’s costume contest:

1st Place: Beetlejuice - Elizabeth Gass
2nd Place: Sadness - Cathy Darnell
3rd Place: Dia De Mu***os - Ken Champlin

And check out the pumpkin carving this year! Chris Cooke took first place for his skeleton carving and Nick Viar took second for the tiniest carving.

Happy Halloween Everybody!
