The 2018 S.C. Lineworkers' Rodeo took place March 16–17, 2018, at Horry Georgetown Technical College in Conway.
This family-friendly event provides a chance for spectators to watch well-trained lineworkers showcase their skills in a safe and fun environment. As individuals or as three-person teams, lineworkers compete in events that test their expertise and agility.
The rodeo builds camaraderie among lineworkers and improves their skills in safety, teamwork and productivity, says event coordinator Nick Adams, senior loss control training director for The Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina.
“It’s a point of pride—pride in your work, pride in your utility and pride in competing,” Adams says. “It’s also fun and a good training tool for apprentice and veteran lineworkers.”
