BTC's 8th Annual Welding Rodeo
Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 02:24AM Bellingham Technical College hosted its 8th annual welding rodeo May 15 and 16th. The Welding Rodeo, which is actually a sculpture competition, pitted eight teams within an eight hour time-frame, against each other in a friendly competition of designing a themed piece that will be auctioned off in the community. The Money goes toward prizes for the four-man teams, the BTC Welding Student Scholarship fund, and for the event itself. This year's theme: Space.
Wes Wood (front), Noah Trumble (left), Jacob O'Dell (back) and Ted Feenstra (not pictured) race the clock to design their piece, 1-800 Space Tow. All four are high school students from Sedro Woolley in Curt Genther's advanced welding class.
