Mark you calendars for the 2019 NUCA Equipment Rodeo. This event will be held on July 28th at the Canby Fairgrounds. Doors open at 12:00 pm.

Kerr Contractors participated in the first ever NWUCA Career Day held at the Northwest College of Construction in Portland, Oregon. The event was attended by over 200 high school kids from the Portland Metropolitan Area.

Mason Lewallen from Boy Scout Troop 530 began a project to add pavers around some raised garden beds at Byrom Elementary School in Tualatin, Oregon. Kerr Contractors was happy to support this energetic group of scouts to help Mason work towards his Eagle Scout. Great job!!

NUCA held an equipment rodeo on July 22nd at the Canby Fairgrounds. This was a regular event up to 2008. This year’s event restarted this tradition of having a fun and family event. Besides the opportunities for operators of all skill levels to test their prowess against the competition, there was food as well as great events for kids. If you missed this year’s event, make plans to attend next year’s event.

How sweet it is! Kerr Contractors is celebrating 30 years of heavy civil construction. From humble beginnings in 1988, we have grown into one of the Northwest’s largestest heavy civil contractors. On June 9th, we were blessed with good weather as we celebrated this milestone at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville. Employees and their families joined us and took time to celebrate this milestone as we prepare for the heavy lifting of this season’s construction. Over 30 years there has been a lot of heavy lifting!

The 2018 Boy Scouts Sporting Clays event is May 17-18. Kerr Contractors has been the presenting sponsor for this event since 2003 and is proud to continue this fund raising event to support scouting.

This year’s group of Oregon State University students is preparing for the annual Reno Estimating Competition at Kerr Contractor’s offices in Woodburn.
