Hundreds of local students attended the third annual career fair held Thursday at Community High School in Grand Forks.
Students spent several hours listening to speakers representing five local businesses and visiting booths covering a broad spectrum of careers, from art to science and technology.
New presenters this year included an artist, a dental hygienist and representatives from Target, J.R. Simplot and Custom Aire, said Darrel Casperson, career resource educator for Grand Forks Public Schools.
"It went great," he said.
Other exhibitors included Josef's School of Hair Design, Forx Builders Association and representatives from UND, Northland Community and Technical College and other education institutions.
