Our First Annual March Madness Bracket Winner
|
Congratulations to Anthony Gross!
Our first annual NCAA March Madness Bracket Challenge was a huge success. Thank you to all that participated and submitted their brackets. We hope to make next year’s tournament even bigger and better with more participants and more prizes.
As you probably already know, there wasn’t a single perfect bracket filled out in the entire country. As much as we wanted to give away a free Takeuchi Skid Steer, we’ll have to give it another go next year.
Once again, congratulations to Anthony Gross for his first-place finish. We’re sure he’ll enjoy his prize of four NY Mets tickets at Citifield with all you can eat Hyundai Club access. Let’s go Mets!
