In attendance from the Hatchery and Eagle Center were Tammy Sivertsen, Jerry Guthrie, Damon Hempel, and Pat Williams.

The stands will be used during demonstrations and also when exercising the birds. The welding students often practice their skills by doing various community service projects. In addition to the raptor stands, they also built a wood stove for a local resident.
