Anyone know the details of the Bloomer plant closing? They had a great display at Congress. Too bad for the workers and industry as a whole.
Don't leave us hanging.... This being your first post, looks to me like you are fishing or trolling! Tell us what you've heard, or call them at this number and tell us what Bloomer said!!

Drover must be a competitor. I just got off the phone with Ross Pratt and Randy Bloomer and they are working the OKC Team Roping Championship and said there is no truth to the rumor. In fact they recently renewed their advertising with us . . . for the coming year. And paid up front.

trying to find the correct way to say somthing in a forum that has alot of byas opinions will be hard, as i have to face it in my line of work also, I want to tell everyone that the company that I have worked for for so many years is trying to struggle to stay afloat. I have had to lay off hundreds of people my friends even my family. It is so hard to watch this when you know these people so well. It does not matter what company that goes under it is the people that have put their lives into their work, this is all they know how to do! This is not a time to bash other manufactures, it is a time to pull together and help in any way posible. what will happen if when all this is over and their is only a few horsetrailer or RV manufactures to pick from? I will tell you. your quality of product will go down. you will not have people striving to find the new better product for the price, their will be no compition. I would love to of got the edge on the competion a few years ago but right now it is just not moraly right. To many lives are going to be changed when this is all over for anyone to try to take advantage of.

Many of my neighbours have spent this winter at home, while being laid off from work. Jennifer is right, we have to take care of each other, and not gloat when someone fails. The hopes and dreams they are loosing could be ours.
When this mess is over, things will be very much changed, and people will remember how they were treated. Your friends, neighbours and acquaintances need each other more now, than ever before.

Levy and Gard are right, when it is all over you should be able to stand with your head height and know that you did your best to help. kicking somebody when they are down if a cowerdly thing to do. Remember treat others as you would like to be treated
