Herkimer BOCES Students Creating a Unique Gift for Valentines Day

It won't smell like a rose, but it definitely looks like one!

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and for most people, it's one that we dread. Chocolate and flowers are nice, but what if she (or he) isn't a fan of either? Good news, you now have the answer you were looking for.

Herkimer BOCES Welding and Metal Fabrication students are combining their skills and creativity together with their latest project. They are welding, and now selling, metal washer flowers for Valentine's Day.

The flowers will be available to order throughout the month of February. They're being sold as a fundraiser for the class' senior sweatshirts. So not only is it a gift for your special someone, but you're supporting the students at the same time.

You can also think about it this way... it'll last much longer than the "real" alternative. And if they don't like it... it could also serve as a weapon. Sounds like a win-win to me!

Regular metal flowers are $15. If you'd like to get them painted, they are $18. You'll have the choice between either red or black for the colors.

If interested, claim your flower now! You can call Kiley Ball from the welding program at 315-868-0770 or email kball23@herkimer-boces.org.

If you're single and dreading February 14th... here are some "GREAT" tips for you to follow on Valentine's Day.
