- CONTRIBUTE­D

Tickets are now on sale for the seventh annual Carhartts and Caviar Welding Showcase and Auction presented by S3 Enterprise­s. The college’s Welding certificat­e students, alumni, their instructor and local businesses are working hard to complete one-of-a-kind pieces for the February 28 event.

“The annual Carhartts and Caviar event and the preparatio­n that goes into the pieces has become a staple in our Welding certificat­e program,” welding instructor Jared McKenzie said. “It gives our students a chance to practice the skills they’re learning and to showcase the art of welding, while also helping raise funds to support the program for years to come.”

A bar set, a couch and chair made from a 1952 Ford F3 and a 2018 Broncos WHL Championsh­ip piece are among the items that will be displayed and auctioned at the event. There will be 13 pieces auctioned off this year, including a mystery item that will be unveiled after the winning bid is received.

Early bird tickets purchased by February 15 are $40 and can be purchased at the college or by contacting developmen­t@ greatplain­scollege.ca or (306) 773-1531. Any remaining tickets past February 15 will be $50.
