The 2022 PDCA Gulf Coast Chapter Sporting Clay Shoot kicked off the Labor Day weekend for Chapter members and guests in and around Louisiana. Dozens of shooting enthusiasts arrived at the Bridgeview Gun Club near Baton Rouge for a 9:00 AM start on Friday September 2nd, then proceeded through the shooting stations. The event was competitive in nature, but as usual, provided the pile driving contractors, equipment manufacturers, material suppliers and civil engineers in the region a perfect opportunity to engage and network outside of a business setting. Upon completion of the shooting course, participants enjoyed a lunch thanks to the sponsorship of H&E Equipment Services. The Chapter thanks all Station Sponsors and participants for making the 2022, annual event a success.

With the 2022 Labor Day weekend here, we take this opportunity to thank the many PDCA members with whom we've had the pleasure to visit this summer. Sometimes, we will pop in to your office or shop, other times we will see you at an industry event. Either way, we truly enjoy every instance we get to meet with you whether it is for business and social purposes. And we are always eager to be a resource for you if and when we can.

Here is a collection of photos we have accumulated over Summer 2022 chronicling some of our travels throughout North America - we saw you in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Manitoba, among other places. Thank you for your ongoing participation in PDCA and your support of the driven pile industry. We wish the pile driving labor force a Happy Labor Day weekend.
