Presidential horseshoes If there's one company displaying the resilience of the manufacturing industry in Central Massachusetts, it might be St. Pierre Manufacturing Corp., one of the premier makers of equipment for yard games like bocce and horseshoes. The company – which turns 100 this year – evolved from a forging company making chains, wire rope, and materials for the military during times of war to a company specializing in summer fun. The company's horseshoes have graced the White House lawn on several occa- sions, as George H.W. Bush was an avid horseshoe player. According to Peter St. Pierre, vice president of finance and opera- tions, the late Bush even had a horseshoe pit made at the White House so he could play when other politicians and heads of state came to visit. The company manufactures several dif- ferent professional quality horseshoe and bocce sets at its Worcester facility. Horseshoes are forged of solid steel and coated with a special non-slip finish. Bocce sets are made of high quality, solid resin with no filler material. Some sets have even been designed by professional horse- shoe and bocce players and are used in tournaments and leagues.
