Day” event on Friday, Oct. 2, in the Civic Center on the college’s Main
Campus in Vance County. At least 350 middle and high school students

education and training. The event was one of many Manufacturing Day
celebrations held across the country that day.
Regional manufacturers on hand included Novozymes of Franklinton,
Pacific Coast Feather Company of Henderson, Ideal Fastener Corporation
of Oxford, Robling Medical of Youngsville, TFS of Youngsville, Superior
