A big congrats goes out to UMD Engineering student, Abigail Croal! Abigail, who is originally from Medina, MN, was chosen as the 2017-18 United Piping Scholar \u2014 earning herself a scholarship to help further her studies in mechanical engineering. At UPI, we&#8217;re so proud to be able to help advance the education and careers of talented, hard-working individuals like Abigail. Already very accomplished, we can&#8217;t wait to see what the future has in store for her as she continues to excel in the field of engineering.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-84\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unitedpiping.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/UMD-Scholarship-400x286.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unitedpiping.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/UMD-Scholarship-400x286.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.unitedpiping.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/UMD-Scholarship-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.unitedpiping.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/UMD-Scholarship-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unitedpiping.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/UMD-Scholarship-624x446.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.unitedpiping.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/UMD-Scholarship.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lake Superior Ice Festival<\/strong><br \/>\nUPI again partnered with Enbridge in 2018 to sponsor the Lake Superior Ice Festival in Superior, WI. The event is a free and family-friendly community event which offers activities from pond hockey to enjoying a drink at an ice bar. UPI also took on the feat, for the second year in a row, of building a 250\u2019 sledding hill for kids and adults alike to enjoy. We also had several volunteers that helped throughout the event with planning, snow hill construction, marketing, and hill monitoring! Nice work to all for helping a fun community event thrive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-85\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unitedpiping.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Hill-under-construction-small-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unitedpiping.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Hill-under-construction-small-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.unitedpiping.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Hill-under-construction-small-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.unitedpiping.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Hill-under-construction-small-624x468.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.unitedpiping.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Hill-under-construction-small.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Recent Support<\/strong><br \/>\nSavannah Drifters Snowmobile Club<br \/>\nUniversity of MN &#8211; Duluth &#8211; Engineering Scholarship<br \/>\nYMCA Corporate Olympics<br \/>\nDuluth School Patrol (School Police Fund)<br \/>\nFive Skies LLC<br \/>\nHuman Society of Douglas County<br \/>\nIUOE 49<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Community Giving Hermantown Hockey We recently supported the Hermantown Hockey PeeWee B Tournament.
