This year Crosby Group has selected Northern Strands to host its famous Crosby Shrimp Boil and Rigging Training Seminar! For those unfamiliar with this event, Crosby Group provides a free rigging course followed by a shrimp boil where you eat jumbo prawns to your hearts content. Plus Northern Strands will be providing pull testing demonstrations on our mobile test bed and offering tours of our rigging warehouse facilities. Crosby selects only one Canadian Crosby rigging distributor annually to host this exclusive event. With Northern Strands being one of the top rigging companies in Saskatchewan, it was high time the Crosby Shrimp Boil made it's way back to Saskatchewan. In fact, this isn't the first time Northern Strands has hosted the Crosby Shrimp Boil. In years past, our Regina location hosted the event to great success.
The Northern Strands Shrimp Boil and Rigging Training event will take place Wednesday June 1st. If you are a company that uses rigging and would like your employees to receive free rigging training followed by a free shrimp boil, contact us today to see if we still have spots available. See the attached invitation for details...We have extended the RSVP date to May 20th. Email marketing@northernstrands.com if you are interested in attending.
