Owensboro Community & Technical College is hosting its third annual Trail Blazer Dinner March 5.

“We originally designed this as an event to highlight women in alternative careers. It had developed into a really inspirational time,” said Mike Rodgers, OCTC’s Chief Institutional Officer. “We have fathers that bring their daughters, groups from Girl’s Inc. and we look forward to it annually.”

Two years ago Ashley Parlett, a NASCAR mechanic shared stories about building her career as a mechanic in the professional auto racing world. Last year Nikki Eplion-Bryant shared her journey to claim world championship boxing titles.

This year the annual girl’s empowerment event features DIY Network’s Catrina Kidd, host of the popular show “Texas Flip N Move.”

A successful entrepreneur and longtime do-it-yourselfer, Kidd has a strong history of spectacular remodels. She previously helped out as a contractor for the Snow Sisters and has now teamed up with Casey Hester. She is also vice president for a restaurant group called Yucatan Taco Stand.

The event is open to women of all ages and is a free event is sponsored by the OCTC Foundation, Inc., AXIOM Architecture, and Atmos Energy. In order to plan for refreshments and seating reserve your spot by e-mailing cadie.underwood@kctcs. edu.
