BATESVILLE — Jacob Curtis of Bryant and his teammate Jordan Covert of Benton as well as the team of Michael Hargrave of Bauxite and Kamron DePriest of Harmony Grove earned awards at a competition Saturday, April 23.
The Mark Martin Museam and Ford Dealership was the setting for the Ford/AAA Autoskills Arkansas Hands-On Final Competition. Ten teams, 10 new automobiles, judges from Ford/AAA, Arkansas Career Education officials, and a host of parents and friends crowded into the service shop of the dealership due to the bad weather.[more]
