Keslin wins NPCC hood decorating contest

Van Keslin, of McCook, is the winner of this year’s hood decorating contest at North Platte Community College. Malaky Johnston, of Tryon, earned second, and Will Hicks, of North Platte, was third.

The competition on Thursday provided students in the Auto Body Technology program with the opportunity to learn basic collision repair skills.

The students were given the challenge of repairing and repainting damaged vehicle hoods. Their work was then voted on by students and instructors in NPCC’s other applied technology programs.
