We are pleased to be hosting the Texas Lineman's Rodeo this weekend in Seguin!
Linemen from across the state will descend upon Nolte Island in Seguin this weekend for the annual Texas Lineman's Rodeo. More than 200 linemen from co-ops, municipals and IOUs will compete in events that mirror their daily job duties. Five apprentices and three journeymen from the Electric Department are gearing up to represent the City of Seguin. Nathan Thiry, Taylor Ross, Steven Eldridge, JR Cruz, Alexander Duarte and Tristin Morstad will participate in the Apprentice Competition during the Rodeo. Journeymen AJ Martinez, Eli Santos and Dylan Rodgers will compete in the Pole Top Rescue, Speed Climb and two mystery events. Some of the rodeo events include: Journeyman Pole Transfer, Apprentice Obstacle Pole and Hurt Man Rescue where they must “save” a dummy and bring it down safely. The competition begins at 6:45 am on Saturday, July 20 at the GBRA - Nolte Island Recreation Area, located at 2220 FM 466 in Seguin.
