Northland College – TRF campus held an open house for the Automotive Service Technology, Auto Body Repair Technology and Welding Technology programs last spring. The grand prize drawing was a Craftsman tool box set that includes a 6 drawer top and a 4 drawer roller cabinet; both with ball bearing drawer slides donated by Sears of Thief River Falls.

To be eligible for the grand prize drawing, students had to apply to one of the programs during the open house. To receive the tool box set, the prospective student had to then be accepted, enrolled and attending fall semester of 2009. The winner of the Craftsman tool set was Scott Beckman of Mahnomen, MN, who is currently enrolled in the Welding Technology program. Pictured presenting the tool box set to Beckman is Rodney Knutson, owner of Sears in Thief River Falls.

Northland College is planning another open house on Thursday, January 28th, 2010, from 3:30-5:30 p.m. The open house will include the following programs: Automotive Technology, Auto Body Repair Technology, and Welding Technology. This will be an opportunity for interested students to come in and talk with instructors and sign up for the door prizes.
