4th of July Festivities

This year over the 4th of July weekend, the Eide Automotive Group sponsored both the Mandan Independence Day Parade, and Mandan Rodeo Days!

Mandan Independence Day Parade

The Mandan Independence Day Parade was on Main St. in Mandan on July 4th. This was the first year that the Eide Automotive Group participated in the parade, and we were the presenting sponsor!

Because of the construction, the parade route was shorter than in years past, but the crowd turnout was still amazing!

We were able to display 10 of our vehicles during the parade, from each of our 6 dealership locations in Bismarck and Mandan. One of our trucks also pulled a very festive float as well!

We had over 90 people walking in the parade, consisting of our employees and their families. We gave out candy, American flags, and Eide Automotive Group koozies and tote bags. 

The parade was an amazing experience for all those involved. We are thankful to be able to participate in large community events like this one, and to create new floats for many summers to come.

Mandan Rodeo Days

We are proud to be sponsors of Mandan Rodeo Days once again this year!

As the Eide Automotive Group, all 6 of our dealerships in town were represented this year at the rodeo. We had a vehicle from each location out front for all to see. Plus, the barrel truck used during the rodeo was provided by Eide Chrysler. 

Patriot Night was presented by the Eide Automotive Group on July 3rd. We have been the main sponsors of Patriot Night for several years now, and we love to be a part of this night to show support to our troops and veterans.

Several of our employees and their friends and families were able to attend the rodeo each night. Everyone had such a fun time watching the events, and enjoying good food and drinks. 

We are thankful to be a part of this community event every year, and are excited to continue to support the rodeo for years to come!

“The 4th of July weekend was very special this year with the newest edition of Eide Chevrolet and Eide Subaru to the Eide Automotive Group,” says Jesse Peterson, President of the Eide Automotive Group. “Mandan Rodeo Days and the Mandan Independence Day Parade are two annual events that take place within the city of Mandan, ND, and the Eide Automotive Group is especially proud to participate in these important community events. This was our first year participating in the parade, and it was a wonderful experience, especially with the number of Eide employees and their family members that participated. It’s the dedication of everyone that works for the Eide Automotive Group that allows us to grow and participate in local community events, and we are excited to continue to be involved in our community in these events in the years to come.”

The 4th of July weekend was a lot of fun for the Eide Automotive Group and for our employees. With many events for everyone to partake in, we were kept very busy. We are thankful for the opportunity to sponsor and participate in local events like the Mandan Independence Day Parade and Mandan Rodeo Days, and are excited to be able to continue sponsorships like this in the future! 

We would like to say a special thank you to Josie Dillmann, our Executive Assistant, for organizing everything for the parade and decorating our float. We would also like to thank Justin Haider, Sales Consultant at Eide Chrysler, for being our go to guy with organizing everything for the rodeo as well. They both did a fantastic job ensuring that everything ran smoothly for our 6 dealerships in Bismarck and Mandan. 

We would like to say thank you to all of our customers, for trusting us with your business and all your vehicle needs. And a final thank you to all of our amazing employees who take care of them. Without you, events like this would not be possible.
