Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jay Donnell recently attended the grand opening of Forest Pro, Inc.’s new location in Ashland, Virginia. Forest Pro, Inc. recently opened a second location in Virginia and hosted an open house on May 17 to showcase the new store in Ashland. The company, which has been a Tigercat dealer for more than a year, put on an impressive display for customers and friends. Owners Troy and Binky Tapscott chose to host the open house and breakfast the morning of the final day of the Richmond Expo. This proved to be a good plan as hundreds of people were on hand for the breakfast and to tour the facility. Several factory representatives from Tigercat, Barko, Cummins, Bandit Industries and others enjoyed the hospitality. Forest Pro’s headquarters is in Scottsville, about 65 miles from the new Ashland location, which had recently opened for business located just off I-95. “You can’t really get much better than this location. We think we can do a lot of business here,” says Binky Tapscott.
