More than 360 ladies were present at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Las Vegas Girls Day 2012 event on Saturday, May 19th, ranging in age from six to… well, we know better than to discuss a woman’s age! Suffice to say, the adults paired up with their new BGCLV friends had a wonderful time getting to know the little girls. There was dancing, cotton candy, snow cones, lunch, face painting, a silly photo booth, soccer, basketball, hula hoop races, bean bag tosses, and many, many prizes given out! Cashman Equipment was proud to be part of the event and cannot wait to do it again next year!
BGCLV Girls Day 2012 a Huge Success!
May 22nd, 2012Helldorado Days Are Here!
May 18th, 2012
Visit the 2012 Las Vegas Helldorado Days, today through May 20th! Helldorado Days is a four-day series of outdoor community events, including America’s original extreme sport, a professional rodeo.
This fun festival is a Las Vegas tradition that recaptures the spirit of the Wild West and the cowboy way-of-life when adventurous men and women journeyed through the untamed West and pioneered a culture centered on the basic tenets of honorable behavior, respect and patriotism.(Like Big Jim Cashman, our founder who helped start the Helldorado Days event back in 1935.) When you come out to Helldorado Days you won’t only be having fun, but you will be supporting the community, as the event is produced by the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks Lodge No. 1468 in order to raise money for children and veterans in Southern Nevada.

Four-Part Contamination Control: Part 1, Clean Fluids
May 11th, 2012
Contamination Control: Clean Fluids
Previously, we talked about the four parts of a good contamination control program – clean fluids, clean components, clean facilities, and clean shop repair processes. Today, we want to share some best practices for clean fluids.
Clean Fluids
- Keep oil barrels indoors where they won’t get rusty or dirty and protect them with a cover so rain and dust cannot enter the drum when the cap is removed.
- Always wipe off fluid container lids (jugs, cans, etc.) with a clean shop towel before opening.
- Filter all fluids before they go into your machines, as the oils may have picked up contaminants during transport.
- Never pre-fill lube oil or fuel system filters, which can introduce potentially dirty fluid directly into the system because it misses the final filtering process.
