We had an awesome time celebrating our annual Fall Meet! This year we decided to take a different approach and focus on recognizing some of our members for all the hard work they’ve been putting in this semester. Along with the “Welding Oscars”, we also hosted an art showcase for our members to get creative, and a best of show for anyone who just wanted to show off some sweet welds!

Congratulations to all the recipients! Thank you to everyone who came out! We can’t wait to see you at our next meet!!

Students, former students, graduates, friends, industry, and neighbors...Our Northern Kentucky American Welding Society Chapter is holding the Annual Fall Meet next Wednesday the 15th at Gateway in the Convening Center. Doors open at 5:30pm and event goes until 8:30/9pm. Tool raffle, Pizza, drinks, but also a very special Student Award show. The welding version of the Oscars you could say. Feel free to dress up but have your helmet on. Or wear a tie with your scorched welding clothes for fun. There is also a Welding Art display and auction where pieces go to the highest bidder. And a Best of Show category for students who want to show off some of their welds. Public is welcome to attend.

Alex Wolsing, a grad from last Spring, popped in today wanting to play with some pipe. 6G...why not?
So we decided after to slice out some coupons from it to bend....this guy is going to make a lot of money. He's dead set on the mid western pipeline.
