The Tennessee Valley Lineman Rodeo will host its annual competition for the first time in Chattanooga from June 7-8, featuring contests unlike any other hosted in our community. Competition begins with an opening ceremony at 1 p.m. followed by events. Day two of competition runs from 7 a.m. through early afternoon.
The Tennessee Valley Lineman Rodeo will be held at the Tennessee Riverpark, 4301 Amnicola Hwy.
Working with the Tennessee Valley Lineman Rodeo, EPB serves as local host and will field a team of lineman for the competitions.
The event is free to attend and offers a complimentary Kids Zone, sponsored by EPB Employees Credit Union and Hexagon. The Rodeo will also provide educational opportunities for kids about the high-quality jobs and professional opportunities available to lineman and through the electric industry.
Team EPB will race up utility poles taller than a 4-story building as they compete against electric utilities from seven states.
