Year in Review: 21 Unforgettable Moments in 2021 with RDO Equipment Co.

Year in Review: 21 Unforgettable Moments in 2021 with RDO Equipment Co.

29 Dec 2021 Read time: 4 min

How would you sum up 2021? Celebrating year-end has become a tradition of lists, everything from favorite music playlists and top photos – thanks, Instagram – to the most-searched news stories and popular foods – Birria Tacos, anyone?

While it is tough to sum up a year in one, single way, there is nothing that seems to resonate more with people this time of year than looking back on memories.

Here at RDO Equipment Co., we dug into our blog archives, revisited social posts, and even did some binge-watching of our YouTube channels to find 21 of the most unforgettable moments from 2021.

In the spirit of the season and this year, join us in looking back at these 21 moments for a year in review with RDO.
