A lucky location allowed two GROWMARK FS, LLC employees an opportunity to check out the Stanley Cup, hockey's top prize.
The GROWMARK FS facility in Eighty Four, Penn. sits next door to Eighty Four Lumber Company, who is a sponsor of the Cup. One day, drivers Gary Winkleblech and Donald Rush noticed a crowd of people in Pittsburgh Penguins clothing lined up at Eighty Four Lumber.
"I thought they must have either a player or the Cup inside, so we went over to check it out," Winkleblech said.
His hunch was right. The Stanley Cup was on display, and a photographer asked the men if they'd like their photo taken with it. They agreed.
"Later, we found out the event was supposed to be for Eighty Four Lumber's employees - we were 'Cup crashers!'" Winkleblech said. "But a friend of mine over there made sure we got a copy of the photo."
The Penguins are reigning Stanley Cup champions.
