The 4th annual Tanner Mitchell Electrician Apprenticeship Scholarship has been awarded to Travis Hudson of Warrensburg.  The award was presented by Shawn and Connie Mitchell along with Tanner’s sister, Shannon Culberson, who traveled to Decatur to present the scholarship to Travis, who is a first-year electrician apprentice at the Midstate Electrical Training Center at IBEW Local 146.  The money will help Travis cover the start-up costs associated with his apprenticeship.

Tanner James Mitchell was a 2016 graduate of Taylorville High School and was a second year apprentice at the Midstate Electrical Training Center.  Tanner was employed at Bodine Electric.  He lost his life as a result of an automobile accident on January 22nd, 2021.  The family hopes to award the scholarship to first-year apprentices for many years to come.
