In addition, Nebo School District’s welding collaborative group will be hosting a "Welding Expo" that will bridge the gap between education and career readiness on Saturday, April 23, 2016, at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Professional fabricators, sponsors, unions and students from across the state have been invited to attend. 

There is a Drift Trike competition for the welding students as well as many more opportunities for the attendees to experience and realize the future of welding within our society. The expo will be free to the public.
