On Wednesday October 3rd and Thursday October 4th CAPA partnered with a number of organizations including CCA as part of the Construction Career Days event. The event was held at the Adams County Fair Grounds. We constructed a Road building demo with the help of LaFarge NA who supplied class 6 road base, Brannan Sand and Gravel who supplied HMA, Honnen Equipment who supplied John Deere 310 loader to move the base into position and remove it at the completion of the event, and Faris Machinery who provided a vibratory steel wheel roller. CDOT region 6 maintenance supplied their Ingersol Rand 5110 paver to place the HMA.
We also had help for Clayton Goodwin of the City and County of Denver and Mike Kresnik of Brannan Sand and Gravel on Wednesday as the hosts for our demo. On Thursday the demo was staffed by Mike Skinner from CTL/Thompson, Chris Campbell from Faris Machinery and Tom Clayton from CAPA along with three staffers from CDOT region 6 maintenance. 
More than 1200 high school Junior and Senior attended the event from as far away as Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs. This event will be follow up in the spring with a Construction Career Days job fair. More information will be available on the job fair early in 2008.
Thank you to our partners, Faris Machinery, Honnen Equipment, LaFarge NA, Brannan Sand and Gravel, City of Denver, CDOT, and CTL/Thompson, with out your help and support this demo would not have been possible. More photos of the event are posted in the Photo Gallery of the CAPA website.
