🏭⚙️ Widseth has sponsored numerous Enterprise Minnesota workshops for manufacturers over the past 10 years. We were glad for the opportunity to engage with yet another group on May 7 at Anoka Technical College, where more than 20 manufacturers attended. The topic was Continuous Improvement, an interactive presentation led by Enterprise Minnesota consultant Greg Hunsaker. We learn something new or are reminded of something we forgot we knew every time we sit in on one of these sessions.

🤖 The Brainerd High School Robotics Team stopped by our Baxter office Wednesday morning to demonstrate their latest creation.

After qualifying events in Duluth and St. Cloud, the team is headed to the state competition this weekend at Concordia University in St. Paul.

These students rely entirely on fundraising and sponsorships to support a program that costs more than $20,000 annually. Widseth is proud to support robotics teams across Minnesota. After hearing firsthand about their design process, troubleshooting, and problem-solving, we're confident our investment is well spent.

Best of luck at state! 👏

☕👷‍♂️🏠 A coffee-scented banquet hall at 6 a.m., a little sleepy, but full of smiles and good energy. That was the start of a meaningful morning.

Some of our Alexandria team members attended Habitat for Humanity of Douglas County’s Hard Hat Events, where more than $146,000 was raised to support safe, affordable housing for local families. We’re proud to support Habitat through volunteering, fundraising, and showing up for the communities we call home.

When our communities thrive, we all do.
