Thank you for supporting the Great Lake Circuit Finals again this year. The coats and awards are awesome. We truly appreciate your continued support of this event.

Let me say first: I LOVE my trailer. It is perfect for me. I’ve hauled it all over the place by myself (including Boulder junction, a few weeks ago) and you’re right…. You hardly notice it back there. But of course, now I’m hooked on competitive trail and want to keep doing this long term, so I am interested in having my dressing room built out with living quarters. Maybe you could let us know what it might be like to go that route. Anyways, Thanks again for everything. The trailer has changed my life, as corny as that sounds.

Scott, I wanted to take a couple of minutes tonight to express my thanks for all the help that you, Kari, and Andy provided in helping me to purchase a trailer from your company. Just as I didn't hesitate to call when my first experience didn't go as planned, I also am not waiting to let you know how good I feel about how things went after that.
You were patient enough to listen to my thoughts and concerns, Kari was so very helpful with getting me pictures of the trailer I ended up buying plus dealing with all my questions, and Andy was very patient with getting the trailer delivered. I can make o guarantees that I can send you much business just by virtue of the distance from Central Illinois, but I won't hesitate to pass along how good my experience ended up being.
Thanks again for all your help and please pass my thanks along to Kari and Andy.

Dear Kari & Scott,
I received the utility hook rack, tire stem & blanket bar today. Thank you so much! Now the trailer is complete and set to roll. I am planning to add some graphics specific to my logo with the Peruvian Horse to match my truck when the weather warms up. I am very pleased with your salesmanship (THANKS KARI) & service. I will pass the word on to my "horse" friends.
Cindy Lemke
Just wanted to let you guys know the trailer pulls great. Again, I want to thank you and Scott for all your help with the trailer so please pass this on. If we have any issues after we start moving our stuff in I'll be sure to let you know and we look forward to showing the trailer off to all our horse friends.

Hi, I just wanted to express my appreciation for the excellent service I received in purchasing my used Featherlite yesterday. From my first phone contact after checking out your web page, phone calls to Kari and Scott, looking over my choice, and all through the paperwork to having the trailer hitched up for the ride home, everyone I encountered was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. This is a rarity these days, and I think your staff all deserve an A+ for a great job. A big thank you to Scott and his staff!

2009 WI State Fair JR Supreme Dairy Champion
Hi to all - - -
It almost seems silly to write you when its been over a month since we purchased our wonderful Featherlite used trailer ... But some good stuff just needs to be said, and better late than necer certainly applies here!! :) Firstly, you all treated us SO kindly when we were there!!! Our salesman ran all over with us as we were trying to figure out the right trailer (VERY PATIENT MAN!) And all the staff asked us if we wanted anything ... even just chatted with us while we waited (and that included the owner!!) NOBODY is nice like that anymore!!! People are usually so crabby & short ... and you're giving them business ... BUT NOT YOU GUYS!!! We even felt "at home" at your business !!! If ever we would get another trailer we would HANDS DOWN come back to you ... We wouldn't even check anywhere else because you guys are the best !!!!!!!! And then you gave us a deal on the little tire changing block + the whole trailer deal! but I think most astounding of all was when one of your staff called our home to find out how our ride home was ... Now mind you, he treated us like gold ( & so did the other guys) while we were there AND all of them were working SO late & missing supper YIPES ... but to have someone call & check on us the next day ... NEVER has anyone EVER given that level of service or care !!! We comment you ALL & your hard work & strong work ethic ... You all were refreshing & encouraging !!! What a great business !!!

Thank you so very much for all you did in helping make the surprise a reality. The look on my husband's face was "PRICELESS." It was amazing to have pulled it off and it wouldn't have been possible without your help. His 60th was truly special and everyone wanted to share when their birthday was with me! Guess I'll never top that one! Thanks again & thought you'd enjoy a few pictures! Hope to see you at "Badger" (with our 1st time use of the trailer)!

Dear: Gold Medal Trailers,
This is Joe Wildenberg from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Falcon Pulling Team. I am contacting you regarding your sponsorship of our team last year. We would like to inform you about the success we had at competition last year. As a team we would also like to thank you and tell you how much your sponsorship means to us.
Over this past year we accomplished more objectives than just building a quarter scale pulling tractor. We learned how to use the education that we have received to design and build last year's UWRF's quarter scale pulling tractor. However, in the process of doing so, we also learned how to work efficiently as a team, and how to manage a small scale "real-world" engineering project from thebeginning to a finished product. At the International Quarter Scale Tractor Student Design Competition we finished in 18th place overall out of 22 teams. That is one place better than the year before! We also placed 3rd in the oral presentation that was given to a panel of engineers from the agrcultural industry. This year we created a 2nd place website that can be viewed at www.uwrffalconpullers.webs.com. Check it out!
As a sponsor, your contribution was influential in our success. Without your sponsorship we would not have been able to have a successful year like we did this year. In the future we would like to continue to build quarter scale tractors because of the engineering experiences gained by the students that participate. We have enjoyed having you as a sponsor, and hope that you will continue to support our team in the future.
Thank You, Joe Wildenberg - Team Captain

Our Mar-Lin V.F.W. Post 10203 of Hamburg, WI would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support in donating door prizes for our Annual Valentine's Dance on February 21st, 2009.
Through the continued support of people, such as yourself, our fundraiser was a great success. The proceeds from this event are distributed throughout the local community buildings, purchases and place flags on vererans' graves on the cemeteries we are assigned to.
We visit and hold Military Rites on fourteen cemeteries on Memorial Day. With the proceeds from the dance we are able to hire a bugler and also a drummer to assist in making the ceremonies more meaningful.
Again, if we didn't have the opportunity to personally thank you at the dance, please accept this letter as a sincere gratitude gesture from the officers and members of Mar-Lin V.F.W. Post 10203, Hamburg, WI.

Dear Sue,
Thank you for your letter on Feb. 4. The 9408 we recently bought has worked well for us. In January my daughter, Esther, and I drove it with her horse, Chip, to North Hampton, Massachusetts, where she is attending Smith College. They have a stables and arena on campus. The trailer performed well on the trip, and is now parked at school awaiting Esther's & Chip's return to Wisconsin in May. Everyone at Gold Medal is friendly & helpful. On a trip from Wisconsin to Ft. Rucker, Alabama on New Years the electrical plug from our Showtime trailer got disconnected & needed replacement. A call to Casey on New Years Eve afternoon enabled the shop in Indiana to properly rewire a new plug and get us on our way. On our return trip we were warm in the living quarters, although the temp dropped to 5 degrees in 20 mph winds!
Thank you for your wonderful service!

Scott,

Hello, Just wanted to let you know we love the Featherlite trailer you sold us. We have it all finished inside the living quarters and it looks really good to. We have been showing it off a lot to all our friends and they like the whole trailer, the height they see right away. I called and talked to someone up there before the 4th of July asking permission to advertise for you, and they said go right ahead so we did. We were in the Pardeeville Parade on the 4th of July. We are proud of the name Featherlite! You have the better deals in Merrill, WI. Thank you very much for the great trailer. We do a lot of trail rides to and we get way up to Lily so we would like to let people know where we got our nice trailer!
Bye!
