Sometimes things happen in patterns. This last August, within two weeks of each other, we had two 11-year-old boys and their families come to our factory for a visit and a factory tour. One was from Alabama and the other from Pennsylvania. Given a choice on other adventures they might have had, both told their parents they wanted to come to Colorado to visit the Walker factory.

In February 2014, brothers Seth and Schuyler Binion were featured in their local newspaper. Pictured with only a wheelbarrow, shovel and rake, they had just launched their new company, Okaw Prairie Landscaping and Lawn Care located in Tuscola, Illinois.
