On Saturday Redmond High School students participated in the first ever High Desert Skilled Trades Competition at Baxter Builders in Redmond.
The event was put together by Redmond High’s Construction teacher.
Baxter Builders hosted and supplied the tools and materials.
Several students showed up to test their skills by first making sawhorses from wood, then building and framing a wall.
Baxter builders gave nice a tool set and hammer as prizes to the top placing students who will also have a chance to enter state competitions.
