Once a year, the International Lineman's Rodeo Week is like a family reunion--linemen come from all over the world to one location for camaraderie, continuing education and competition. This year, many of them have stopped by the T&D World booth, which is located at the start of row 600, to spin the wheel of prizes, vote for the Top Tools of the Trade competition, enter the EUO/Milwaukee Tool drawing or pick up some copies of the magazine and annual Lineman Supplement.
Here is a look at some of the visitors who have come by our booth to meet our T&D World team.
