Twenty years ago, in 1984, a very small group of individuals including Tom
White, the President of TWSCO, a linework materials vendor, Dale Warman, a
supervisor for Kansas City Power and Light, and Charlie Young, a supervisor
for Southwest Line Construction organized the first ever National Lineman's
rodeo. The primary purposes of the event then as now was to help maintain a
focus on safety and safe work practices, to provide a forum for the public
to better understand and recognize the technical craft skills the linemen
have, and to provide an opportunity for the professionals craftspeople in
the linework trade to receive recognition for their skills. One other
purpose has always been for the participants to have fun while sharing work
knowledge with others in their trade from different companies and different
parts of the country.
