by Shelley Morris –
We are only a few weeks away from our June 3-4th 50th anniversary celebration. I look forward to seeing you on the 3rd, as we welcome you to a sneak peak and recognition dinner before opening our doors to the general public on Thursday evening. You are a big part of our story, and we wouldn’t be where we are without your partnerships.
The details are coming together. We have Nashville Artist Brad Morgan performing on Thursday, when we open our doors for a BBQ feed, tours, activities, and more! You only celebrate 50 years once! I am looking forward to seeing you, and don’t forget, we have a block of rooms reserved at our local hotels. Give us a call if you need help.
I don’t say it enough, but we consider Maintainer dealers part of the family, so to speak. To be a Maintainer dealer means you share similar values and operating principles that align with ours. Relationships matter, customers matter, and above all else, always doing the right thing matters. You are a part of a unique and small fraternity and we thank you for the relationship. Over the years, we’ve succeeded together. A lot is going to change in the next 50 years, and most of us will be handing off to another generation. Keeping principles and values intact is important, so let’s hope the next generation learns from us that there is only one way to do business.
The industry looks a lot different than it did in 1976 — and honestly, so does the world. Supply chains have been tested, customer expectations have evolved, and technology has changed the way we all do business. Through all of it, what’s stayed constant is the strength of the relationships we’ve built together. When things got hard, our dealer network didn’t flinch — you found solutions, took care of customers, and kept moving forward. That’s not something you can manufacture; it comes from a shared commitment to doing things right. As we look ahead, the landscape will keep shifting, but we’re confident that the foundation we’ve built together is more than strong enough to meet it.

A Hotel Block is reserved at the Sheldon Holiday Inn Express and can be booked using this link or by calling 712-324-3000.
We also have a block at the Cobblestone Inn in Sheldon that can be reserved by calling 712-318-6727 and letting the desk know you would like to reserve with the Maintainer Room block for June 3-5
