Great Dane Wayne got into the Halloween spirit with a Pumpkin Decorating & Carving Contest! Employees had the chance to show off their creativity, and once all the entries were in, everyone voted for their favorites.

Congratulations to our winners: Tammie Mogues, Cesar Carreon, Rachelle Heppner, and Craig Tentinger!

The Halloween fun continued throughout the plant, with candy handed out to employees during shift changes. Great Dane Wayne also welcomed a local daycare, and employees' children stopped by for some trick-or-treating of their own.

Badger Liquor Company was founded in 1935 and has grown across four generations by putting people and customer service first. Today, that same commitment carries through to the equipment they rely on, including customized Great Dane Champion dry van trailers and Sahara truck bodies built to support their daily deliveries.
