Santa-Cali-Gon Days Festival
| |
Friday - September 2
Friday, opening day of the festival started off hot! It was a hot day, but continued to heat up with Larry Turner and Marty Stuart hitting the Nuts & Bolts Main Stage at night. The crowds were having a good time and as the sun went down the carnival lit up with life.
 | The Independence Police Color Guard opened the festival at the Nuts & Bolts Main Stage.
|
 | The UCM Marching Mule Drumline started the festival with a bang! The marching band and festival volunteers paraded around the square pumping up the festival goers and vendors. The marching band ended at the UCM Community Stage where they gave an encore performance.
|
 | SCG Country Legends night brought Marty Stuart to the stage. Marty put on a great show that kept the crowd rocking all night!
|
Thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, vendors and community for supporting this great festival.
Continue to read next week about Saturday.

For the past 7 years, Jackmaster Lift Parts has been providing warehouse maintenance managers across the United States the means to better manage their material-handling equipment with the Inventory Resource Management Network (IRMN); the largest online parts and supply inventory for material-handling equipment. With 24/7 access to IRMN, maintenance managers can order parts, conduct research, access parts diagrams, monitor order history, and track shipments, thereby equipping managers with the means to better maintain their equipment fleet. Also, because of the automation of these functions, Jackmaster is able offer all parts and supply items at greatly discounted prices.
Jackmaster recognizes that as the the utilization of technology increases and gains more prominence in business processes and functions, there's an equally increasing need for customer service and support in order that the full benefit that technology offers can be achieved. It is for this reason we offer our new customers as much one on one training as needed as well as outstanding ongoing support, insuring that our customers have everything they need to take full advantage of the services we offer. It is our strong belief that no matter how automated technology may allow business interaction to become that ongoing and successful customer relationships will always require a personal attention as we strive to serve our customers' needs.
