To kick things off, the chamber will hold an open house event from 3:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 26, at the Klapec Warehouse at 1355 Allegheny Blvd., Reno, PA 16343. VenangoREADY presentations and prize drawings will be given at 5 and 6:30 p.m. Food and drink will also be available.

There will also be an option to take tours at the Reno locations of Klapec Trucking, Komatsu and Webco and meet other local industry businesses.

Teachers, who bring required information, can receive Act 48 hours for attending.
