Thursday, October 6th, Halco set up shop at the 11th annual Finger Lakes Works with Their Hands (FLWWTH) event, which was established as a one-day skilled trades fair. We offered scissor lift rides, plasma cutting, conduit bending and soldering stations for nearly 800 students. The students also had the opportunity to learn about geothermal and examine our 20 foot, ‘Yes, we do that’ home display! Each year is a little bigger than the last and next year we plan to add another scissor lift and a jack hammer station to our building!
