Construction and Electrical Students Build Display for the RI Home Show

As has been tradition for about a decade, Townie Construction students went to the RI Convention Center from March 27-30 to build a beautiful display for the RI Home show. Mr. Galligan and Mr. Heatherton brought a different group of kids each day of the build to ensure that many different students had the opportunity to work on site. In all, about 25 different students spent at least one day contributing to the build.


The Home Show was Open from 3/30-4/2, and welcomed thousands of guests. Hopefully you had a chance to visit the Convention Center and see the display our young carpenters built.
