SJF Material Handling Proud to Sponsor Winstock 2026

Every June, Winsted comes alive. Thousands of country music fans roll in for what's become one of the Upper Midwest's most beloved outdoor festivals - and SJF Material Handling was proud to be part of it as a Gold Sponsor of the 2026 Winstock Country Music Festival.

The two-day event ran Friday and Saturday, June 19-20 at the festival grounds right here in Winsted, with Dierks Bentley headlining Friday night and Luke Bryan closing out Saturday. The full lineup also included Carly Pearce, Mitchell Tenpenny, Muscadine Bloodline, Easton Corbin, Sara Evans, and more - a stacked weekend from start to finish.

For us, supporting Winstock is personal. The festival raises funds each year for Holy Trinity School here in Winsted - a school that many of our past and current employees called home. When a cause hits that close to your own team, showing up feels less like sponsorship and more like the right thing to do.

SJF has been part of this community since 1979. The people who work here have lived here, went to school here, and raised families here. Winstock and Holy Trinity are woven into the fabric of Winsted, and we're glad to play a small role in keeping that going.

This year's festival drew a big crowd, and the energy around town was something else. There's something pretty great about working a few miles from a venue where 20,000 people are singing along to Luke Bryan on a warm June night.

We're grateful to the Winstock committee and all the volunteers who make this happen every year. See you in 2027.
