Haney Tech College's welding program offers training and job placement
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WMBB) – The month of April is National Welding Month, and here in Bay County, one local college is highlighting its program and the benefits of working in the trade. At Haney Technical College in Panama City, you can begin your journey by enrolling in their welding technology program. The program totals 1050 hours, which is the equivalent of one full academic year. You don't need any prior experience, and spend the majority of the class getting hands-on experience in the lab. Lookout Lounge's Pompano Classic honors local fishing legend After completing the course, you then have the chance to be selected for the advanced program, which takes just under one academic year to complete. By completing any of the welding programs at Haney, you unlock the opportunity to get a job locally or almost anywhere in the country. 'Our advanced program has always maintained a 100% placement rate,' said Haney Technical College Welding Department Head Paul Richardson. 'Everyone who completes our advanced program leaves with a very well-paying job. Our regular welding technology program, we have a 93% placement rate for completers. A lot of people will do that and then learn on the job the rest of the skills in the trade.' Spaces for the Haney Technical College welding program are limited, so you are encouraged to enroll sooner rather than later. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Lookout Lounge's Pompano Classic honors local fishing legend
PORT ST. JOE, Fla. (WMBB) – A special fishing tournament that honors the life and legacy of a Panhandle resident is returning for its second year to Port St. Joe on Saturday, April 19th. The entrance fee into the Pompano Classic Fishing Tournament is $40. You can either register in person at the Lookout Lounge off Highway 98 in Port St. Joe, send a message to the lounge's Facebook page, or reach out to them on their website. The deadline to register is Friday night. All the proceeds from the tournament will be handed out in the form of cash prizes to whoever reels in the three biggest fish. The idea behind hosting this event came about after a longtime patron of the Lookout Lounge passed away. The bar staff then quickly looked for a way to honor his memory. Celebrate Earth Day at Oaks by the Bay Park in Panama City 'We lost a really good friend in our bar family, James 'R.D.' Walding. He was a local fishing legend here on the beach, and he was known as the Pompano Whisperer,' said Lookout Lounge Owner Kristen Gerspacher. 'To honor his memory and to bring his friends and everybody together to enjoy his favorite thing, which is a day on the beach with a cold beer, fishing for Pompano, we decided to create this tournament.' This year's tournament will begin at sunrise on Saturday morning. You are permitted to cast out anywhere in the Port St. Joe area as long as you are onshore. You must weigh in your fish between 3 and 5 p.m. Eastern time at the Lookout Lounge to be eligible for the cash prizes. The Salty Chef Food Truck will also be in attendance on Saturday and will cook your catch if you're interested. This tournament is specifically designed for those 18 and up.
