Big congratulations to our Big Dig raffle winner, Danielle Orlandi!

Danielle is now the proud owner of our toy excavator- hopefully the start of some future construction skills! Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make Big Dig such an unforgettable event.

We’re still reminiscing about an incredible Saturday at Big Dig 2026! 🚧🚜

Watching kids climb into real heavy machinery, take the controls, and experience construction equipment firsthand was something truly special. From excavators to loaders, the excitement (and smiles!) said it all and for many, it was their first glimpse into a future in the skilled trades.

A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors: Newman Tractor, Kentucky 811, and Riegler Blacktop for making this event possible. We truly couldn’t host an experience like this without your support and commitment to inspiring the next generation of builders.

Because of you, these kids didn’t just watch construction- they experienced it.
