Kids flock to Missoula Under Construction event

It’s construction season here in Western Montana and over the weekend some workers used a day of rest as an opportunity to inspire the next generation of journeymen and women at the ‘Missoula Under Construction event.

It’s not often that young boys and girls get the opportunity to control excavators, but for the first annual "Missoula Under Construction" event, Jackson Contracting partnered with the Missoula Food Bank to set up dozens of heavy machines and vehicles at Fort Missoula Regional Park.

What young kid doesn’t love dump trucks and cranes? Hattie Redmon of Jackson Contracting says that the goal was to inspire the next generation of contractors and to show that the trades aren’t just for the boys.
