(Riverton, WY) – The annual Manufacturing Day was held on Friday, October 7 at five local businesses, including Legacy Molding, Hi Mountain Seasoning, Pertech Industries, Inc., Brunton, and Maker Space 307.

The tours were open to Fremont County School District #25, the Wind River Job Corps, Central Wyoming College, and the general public in Riverton.

“Manufacturing Day is a nationwide event and manufacturing’s biggest annual opportunity to inspire the next generation to start careers in modern manufacturing through a series of focused events to promote manufacturing to students, parents, and educators on the first Friday of October, and continuing throughout the rest of the month,” shared Kevin Kershisnik of Manufacturing Works.
