Frederick 4Rivers Hosts Memorial Day BBQ

Honoring the Brave: Memorial Day BBQ at 4Rivers Frederick
On Thursday, May 22, 2026, 4Rivers Equipment in Frederick, Colorado, opened its doors to the public for a Memorial Day BBQ. The event served as a powerful reminder of the holiday’s true meaning—honoring and remembering the men and women of our military branches who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.
Community, Remembrance, and a Record Turnout
The pre-holiday celebration brought together 4Rivers employees and community members for an afternoon of reflection and camaraderie. As families and local professionals gathered, the atmosphere was one of gratitude and shared respect for our veterans and active-duty service members.
"We had quite the turnout. Easily the most people we've had for an event." — Tess Tyndell, Sales Coordinator
Highlights of the Day
- Fresh off the Grill: Attendees enjoyed a classic American BBQ featuring hamburgers and hot dogs.
- Family Fun: The yard was transformed with various lawn games, providing a welcoming environment for all ages.
- The Mini-Excavator Challenge: The crowd favorite—mini-excavator putt-putt golf—allowed attendees to test their precision skills using John Deere technology to sink putts.
Our Commitment to Those Who Serve
