Havre's university once again hosted a convention of students in skill categories with two days of competition culminating in an awards ceremony at Montana State University-Northern's Armory gymnasium Wednesday.
The state's 46th SkillsUSA conference - and the 45th hosted at Northern - started with competition Monday, bringing 325 students representing 35 secondary schools and two post-secondary schools to compete in 36 events, Steven Don, Northern's chair of the College of Technical Sciences said Wednesday.
The day wrapped up Tuesday with a car show and barbecue outside Northern's Student Union Building.
Don said the contests Monday and Tuesday were divided into two categories, technical, including contests like diesel technology, automotive service technology, welding, carpentry and leadership, with contests such as job interviewing, job skill demonstration and extemporaneous speaking.
Most of the people or teams who won gold medals in the competitions are eligible to compete at the national SkillsUSA Conference, slated for June 19-23 in Louisville, Kentucky.
