On Manufacturing Day our local manufacturers open their doors to showcase what manufacturing is and isn't to Cooke County High School Students as they witness manufacturing in action.  Following facility tours, students and manufacturers come back to the Civic Center for lunch.  Tables are set up with 9 students and one manufacturing leader giving students to ask questions about their tours while building personal relationships with executives.  The event ends with a trade show representing all manufacturers and education partners.  Students receive a passport that spotlights each Manufacturer - what they make, the career opportunities they offer with potential earnings and what they are looking for in new recruits.
