Thanksgiving is approaching, which means the annual Steamfitters Apprentice Turkey Bowl is almost here!
On each Thanksgiving Eve, Local 449 apprentices are invited to play some flag football and enjoy an evening full of competition, food, drinks, and, of course, union brotherhood.
This year, we decided to switch things up, raise the stakes and create some friendly competition on the field. We are welcoming the Sprinklerfitters Local 542 apprentices to face off against our apprentices to celebrate this time of thanks and community.
Incorporating Local 542 is monumental, as it marks the first time the Steamfitters have included another union in this age-old Local 449 tradition.
In recent years, the game has been played behind the Technology Center, which will soon become the home of a new Steamfitters training facility, with construction breaking ground in 2027. Instead, this year’s game will be played at Sippel Reservoir Park (SV North Soccer Field), 131 Perry Highway, Harmony, PA 16037.
Journeymen, union members, and families are invited to join us on Wednesday, November 25, and cheer on our apprentices as they go head-to-head with the Sprinklerfitters. Food and beer will be provided post-game at the Steamfitters Event Center to continue the celebration of union fun.
