Join us for Lineman’s Rodeo

York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive has the hon­or of host­ing the South Car­oli­na Lineman’s Rodeo on March 22 at the cooperative’s York office, 1385 E. Alexan­der Love High­way.

Spon­sored by The Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tives of South Car­oli­na, the event allows linework­ers from across the state to show off their skills in front of fam­i­ly, friends and peers. The rodeo fea­tures events such as over­head trans­former change­out, street­light replace­ment and hurt man res­cue. Appren­tice linework­ers (less than four years of expe­ri­ence) com­pete indi­vid­u­al­ly in four events, while jour­ney­men com­pete as three-man crews in four events.

Train­ing and com­pet­ing in this com­pe­ti­tion help our line­men hone their skills and gain expe­ri­ence in a safe envi­ron­ment, so they can con­tin­ue pro­vid­ing mem­bers with safe, reli­able ser­vice each day.

The Lineman’s Rodeo is a fam­i­ly-friend­ly event includ­ing ven­dors and kid-friend­ly activ­i­ties. The day begins with an 8 a.m. flag-rais­ing cer­e­mo­ny.

You may see the con­struc­tion of the com­pe­ti­tion course being built on our cam­pus near Coop­er­a­tive Way begin­ning in Feb­ru­ary! Save the date and learn more about the event at ecsc.org/rodeo.
