North Carolina's High School Masonry Day 2016 a Success

Words: Dan Kamys17 November 2016 — Some 200 masonry students, instructors and school administrators from surrounding North Carolina counties participated in the High School Masonry Day at Gold Hill in mid-November. Johnson Concrete Company and Carolina Stalite hosted the event at their Ben Ketchie Park on a perfect fall day and provided tours of the Carolina Stalite lightweight aggregate manufacturing plant and demonstrations of masonry materials, accessories and equipment.

The event was the brainchild of former masonry instructor Ryan Shaver (now with Johnson Concrete), who says similar future events are planned for other parts of the Carolinas. Photos from the event are available via the website of the North Carolina Masonry Contractors Association.
