In recognition of National Manufacturing Day (MFG Day), the Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce will host an event for area schools and the general public on Wednesday, November 8, 2023.

Long jeans or pants are also recommended.
The day of the event, registered attendees should check in between 8:00 and 8:30am at the Bourbon County Fairgrounds Pavilion, 2102 S. Huntington (across from Fort Scott Community College).

Attendees will then tour three manufacturers which will be pre-assigned at 9:00am, 10:00am, and 11:00am. Manufacturers offering tours include the following companies: Labconco, Niece Products, Peerless Products, and Timken (more may be added as confirmed). Lunch will be provided back at the fairgrounds pavilion following the tours and the FSCC facilities will be available again for touring until 1pm.
