Every year, the Earthmoving Contractors Association of Texas (ECAT) brings our members together for a unique and exciting annual event. The 2025 event is shaping up to be one of the best yet! This year’s gathering promises to offer a mix of connection, education, Texas pride, and plenty of fun.
What to Expect at the 2025 ECAT Annual Event
Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store for attendees:
🛻 Peterbilt Factory Tour
We’re kicking things off with an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Peterbilt Factory. Members will experience the craftsmanship, technology, and innovation that go into producing some of the most respected trucks on the road today. Whether you’re a gearhead or simply enjoy Texas manufacturing, this tour is a can’t-miss experience.
☕ Tea Tour Around Dallas
If Peterbilt isn't your cup of tea, we’ll take a step back and enjoy a relaxing Tea Tour around Dallas. This is a wonderful chance to recharge, savor local flavors, and bond with fellow members in a more casual setting. Plus, who doesn’t love a Texas-style tea party?
🎯 Sporting Clay Shoot Tournament
Saturday is reserved for friendly competition at our Sporting Clay Shoot Tournament! Sharpen your aim and bring your best game. Whether you're a seasoned shooter or a first-timer, this event is all about having fun and supporting ECAT.
The tournament also serves as one of our major fundraising activities, enabling ECAT to fulfill its mission of supporting Texas contractors. We encourage you to invite friends, colleagues, vendors, and anyone who values the industry. The more, the merrier! Lunch will be provided at the range, and all skill levels are welcome!
