Chamber commissions Hoover High construction technologies students to build little green and red holiday structure.
Jolly Old St. Nick now has a North Canton home to call his own – one carefully crafted by Hoover High School construction technologies students commissioned for the important task by the North Canton Area Chamber of Commerce.
