Shipton’s Big R in the Community

Every year we do our Annual Customer Appreciation Event and each year we give away hundreds of gifts to our valued customers.  From log splitters to a $250 Carhartt gift card, we love to give back to you!  
This year we gave away:

What a fantastic turnout we had for Pet-O-Ween this year! Even with the snow and sudden cold snap, people still braved it for an entertaining and wild time! We are always impressed by the sheer creativity of the costumes and this year was no exception. The highlight was the "Chicken Taco"! 

What a fabulous fair this year! The excitement and anticipation was palpable as hundreds of kids organized and cleaned up their animals to show, polished their projects to put on display and even more parents and grandparents gathered to help and admire all the hard work that goes into 4H Fair.  The Metra Park was a buzz of activity for the entire week with horse shows, rabbit shows, bovine and swine shows and all of the other critters in the barns. It's never an easy thing to raise an animal for months, giving them all the proper care they need to thrive, then to sell them at market... but that process sure does offer a lot of life lessons to those kids as they learn about just what it takes to be responsible.
