Adults get their chance to sample the same hands-on activities and discuss opportunities the union building trades provide during an evening version of Construct Tomorrow at Fitzgerald Hall in the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC).

Five pipe trades apprentices from Minnesota and North and South Dakota will compete in Chicago this summer after winning their respective categories in a two-day competition at the Minnesota Pipe Trades Apprentice Training Competition sponsored by Local 6 Training Center in Rochester, Minn.

Plumbers from Local 34 in St. Paul and Local 15 recently spent a Saturday spanned out across the Twin Cities in an effort to help others through “Water’s Off,” their one day in the year when they help people who can’t afford a plumber. 

For Construct Tomorrow, it’s three down and eight events to go. Six more remain – Hinckley, St. Paul, Anoka County, Duluth, St. Cloud and Bemidji. Several of the remaining events will be held at some notable Minnesota venues: Grand Casino (Hinckley); Minnesota State Fairgrounds (St. Paul); and the National Sports Center (Anoka ).
