Power in Action: Highlights from the 2026 Lineman’s Rodeo
The International Lineman's Rodeo brought thousands of lineworkers and their families together in one spot--the National Agricultural Hall of Fame grounds in Bonner Springs, Kansas--for a day of competition and camaraderie.
The event started out at a chilly 40 degrees, and after the flags were raised and a beautiful rendition of the national anthem broke the silence of the grounds, the announcer officially kicked off the Rodeo.
Here are some scenes of the competitors and the spectators from the 2026 International Lineman's Rodeo. For more coverage, stay tuned to our event page and to the Line Life Podcast.
