Linemen work around the clock, sacrifice time away from their families and friends and withstand rigorous conditions to keep the lights on. To thank them for a job well done and show our appreciation for the line trade, T&D World partnered with Utility Products and the International Lineman's Rodeo Association on Lineman Celebration Week.
By watching videos, posting photos on social media, submitting recipes for the Lineman Celebration Week cookbook and being the top scorers for the Super Saturday quizzes, linemen and their families had the opportunity to win prizes from our sponsors.
Here is a list of the winners for the 2020 Lineman Celebration Week as of Nov. 6. This list will be updated as more winners are announced. Congratulations to the following winners, and thank you to our sponsors for donating special prizes.
