Remembering Dozer Days On June 2nd, 2007 Wingra Stone and Wingra Redi-Mix Inc. hosted what would be their final “Day of the Dozer” event. For the past 15 years this event has brought great joy to 1,000’s of people, young and old. Dozer Days was a day when kids of all ages were able to ride or operate large pieces of construction equipment, while at the same time help raise money for a local charity, Thursday’s Child. All of the money – 100% - from food sales, admission, and sale of hats & T-shirts went to Thursday’s Child. The Wingra employees, volunteers and sponsors dedication was phenomenal. Everyone involved did above and beyond what was necessary to make this event a tremendous success. As the years went by the crowds grew larger. The amount of money raised each year also grew, by the end of 15 years Wingra has donated over $308,000 to Thursday’s Child. Verona Little League Baseball-Softball Complex Wingra
