He thanked Gates Construction for their help in furnishing materials and equipment for the event. Bruner reported they had a very busy three days with kids coming in from local school systems to get introduced to several aspects of construction. “We had an area set up outside and had the boys and girls laying brick. There were quite a few that you could tell were currently taking masonry classes but we also had some that had never done it before. We were told on a number of occasions that the bricklaying was one of the more popular activities.”   In the photo, Bruner (left) and Jeremy Eudy (right) offer instruction.  (Photo by Mike Weaver)
