A group of dedicated Entergy lineworkers will test their skills in the 40th International Lineman’s Rodeo and Expo on Oct. 16 through 19 in Overland Park, Kansas.
The rodeo attracts the best lineworkers from around the world to compete in events based on traditional tasks and skills. The first Lineman’s Rodeo was held in September 1984, with twelve participating teams from Kansas and Missouri. The rodeo has grown to over 300 teams and 450 apprentices.
When the lights go out, our crews go to work, and we couldn’t be more grateful for what they do. The international event is an opportunity for select lineworkers to hone their skills, pass on valuable work practices and bring the best out of one another through competition.
Good luck to the following Entergy employees competing at this year’s International Lineman’s Rodeo:
- Representing Entergy Arkansas: Kevin Buford, Justin Matheny, Zach Christmas, Zack Lewis, Lance Duncan, Luke Genna and Blaine Wells
- Representing Entergy Louisiana: Matthew Allen, Joshua Allen, Cade Duplessis, Brandt Watson, Matthew Creppel and Zachary Calhoun
- Representing Entergy Mississippi: Zac White, Kelton Carr, Thomas Larkin, Tyler Harvey, William Evans and Zac Noone
