The Frontier Community College Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS) program will host its annual Lineman Rodeo on Saturday, April 12th at 9am. The event will take place at the utility poles behind Workforce Development Center on FCC’s campus.
EDS students will compete in a series of skill-based challenges, demonstrating the expertise they have gained through the program. Events will include hurt man rescue, speed climbing, and an excavator challenge, where students will use a mini excavator to stack objects. Competition times will be displayed on a leaderboard for participants and spectators to track results throughout the event.
In preparation for the Lineman Rodeo, first-year Graphic Arts & Design (GAD) students, under the instruction of Cheryl Harl, designed and presented t-shirt logo concepts for judging. After careful consideration, Amanda Burkett’s design was selected as the winner.
This year’s event is made possible with support from Wayne-White Electric Cooperative, Les McCormick Trucking, and Tallman Equipment Co., Inc.
The public is encouraged to attend, bring lawn chairs, and enjoy a day of friendly competition. Lineman Rodeo t-shirts will be available for purchase.
