Hoosier Pattern

While we are sure a majority of our followers are enjoying summer activities and the warm weather, there is an employee of ours who wants to let everyone know that we are officially halfway to Christmas.

It is tradition at Hoosier Pattern that on June 25th, Jeff Brewster from our Tool Crib will load up his cart filled with Christmas cookies and pass them out to the Hoosier Pattern employees, regardless of whether they have been naughty or nice this year.

PLEASE SHARE!

Our Fourth Annual Hoosier Pattern Pour has been moved to Friday, September 18th this year. There were multiple factors in the decision to move the Pattern Pour to later in the year, including the risk of unpredictable weather, the earlier timing of sunsets in the fall, and the opportunity for the classes from Bellmont and Adams Central that participate in creating the scratch molds to attend.

We plan to light the cupola around 4:30pm, with the goal of having the first tap at 5:00pm. We are still going to offer scratch molds to the public, and we will also be having the workshop led by one of the artists in the afternoon before the event.

More details about the scratch molds and the event will continue to be posted in the coming weeks leading up to the Pattern Pour.

Today, we honor the service and sacrifice of the brave men and women who fought for our freedom.

Last week was the 7th Annual Adams Wells Manufacturing Alliance (AWMA) Signing Day. This event brings together graduating high school seniors who will continue working for their current employers through their work-based learning program, CTE program, or internship. Just as athletes sign a letter of intent to play for a college, this event has students signing a letter of intent to continue working for their respective business. The students are joined by their trades teacher, parents, and their employer sponsor. This year's event included 12 students and the guest speaker was Ron Harnish, Norwell's Work-Based Learning Instructor/Coordinator and Business Teacher.

Wyatt Mann, who will be graduating from South Adams High School, has been working part-time with us since June 2025 as a CNC Set-Up Associate, and Konner Colwell, who will be graduating from Bellmont High School, has been working part-time with us since April 2026 in our Benching and Rigging area. We are excited to have these two continue to work for us full-time in the near future!

Last Friday, we sponsored a table for the annual Junior Achievement Serving Decatur/Monroe Purse Bingo, and some of our employees joined the event. Although some of our employees who attended had no luck at winning a purse, they still had a great night at the community event!
