We have a great turn out of about 40 exhibitors. We'll have LOTS of different vehicles, vessels, hands-on activities, and next step opportunities for students. We've added Kitsap Transit and more public services - very excited for that. We lost the local construction association, Kitsap Builds, because "last year the students were only interested in maritime" BUT we still got good construction union reps and Andersen Construction. Boeing can't attend this year nor Port of Seattle - but we should be A-OK!
