FAIRMONT Marshall Crissinger, a senior at Fairmont High School, has received $12,000 in tool and tuition assistance from Miller Sellner Fairmont.
Crissinger, son of Ken and Wanetta Crissinger, plans to attend Iowa Lakes Community College in Emmetsburg this fall for Farm Equipment and Diesel Technology.
Crissinger said he’s had an interest in the field since he was about in 7th grade.
“It started when I started helping a family friend with their farm. We started doing general maintenance on the equipment and it was something that clicked for me,” Crissinger said.
Crissinger already had an interest in one day working at Miller Sellner, which he shared with his teacher, Bob Bonin, who told him they had funds available, so he started on the application process.

FAIRMONT, Minn. (KEYC) Voters in the Fairmont Area School District have approved funding for improvements.
New additions are being made to help promote jobs for skilled workers. Those additions include an expanded woodworking and automation shop, a programming lab and a manufacturing lab.
The multi-million dollar project was intended to give students in grades 7-12 real-world experience in a new way that they might not normally get through school.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity, not only for our school district, but more importantly for south central Minnesota because this was an effort to really link the private sector and the public sector together for a common cause, which is to increase the number of skilled workers we have in Minnesota,” Fairmont Superintendent Joe Brown said.
