Would you like to support the WOSHS Welding Department? Do you need a work trailer for your ranch or farm?
Last year, the department repaired this donated farm trailer back to working condition and is looking to sell it to raise money. All proceeds will go straight into the welding department for supplies and materials.
The 5' by 10' trailer is untitled and not meant for the road, but could find new life hauling hay or moving equipment around your property.
If you're interested or would like more information, please contact our Welding Department Instructor, William Hollifield, at WHollifield@woccisd.net.
