ON
July 28, 85 linemen from 14 electric co-op systems met at
East Kentucky Power's training facilities to participate in
the second Kentucky Lineman's Rodeo. These linemen are 'lined'
up for the Insulator Change Contest. The rodeo's main goal
is to make sure safe working practices are followed during
each contest.
