GOMACO Invitational #34: September 15 & 16, 2015

Thank you to everyone who traveled to our small town of Ida Grove, Iowa, on September 15 and 16, 2015, for our annual customer appreciation event, GOMACO Invitational #34. This year was especially memorable, as GOMACO was celebrating its 50th anniversary, with historical displays and gifts commemorating GOMACO's "First 50 Years."

We hope you had a chance to make new friends in the industry, spent some casual time with your colleagues, and enjoyed the golfing competitions and the warm Iowa fall weather. Feel free to browse through the pages of this web site to re-experience the fun and games of #34!

The GOMACO Invitational is our way of saying "thank you" for choosing our paving products, and to thank our business partners for their support through the years. We hope you continue to be a part of our family as we start our next 50 years!

Thank you again for coming, and we hope to see you at #35 in September 2016.

Fun & Excitement At #34!

First Time Attendees Take Center Stage - We were fortunate to have 48 first time attendees at GOMACO Invitational #34, and two of them had great skill and luck on their side! Park Estes of APAC Central was on the championship team from the Contractors' Shoot-Out, and was on the fourth place team in the Putting Tournament. Charlie Knudsen of Concrete Technologies, Inc., was also on the Contractors' Shoot-Out championship team, and earned the honor of attempting the 50-foot putt on Wednesday morning.

Every year, we build this special web site where you can relive some of the fun and excitement of the two-day event. We have included listings of the participants, sponsors, teams, winners, and feature many of the photos taken by the GOMACO Advertising Department.
