Bluebonnet is sending a senior journeyman lineworker team, three journeyman lineworker teams, 12 apprentice lineworkers, 12 competition judges and a barbecue team to the Texas Lineman’s Rodeo at Nolte Island Park near Seguin on July 18.

The rodeo tests the skills that lineworkers rely on daily, from climbing poles to repairing equipment. Other challenges include a dexterous pole climb while carrying a raw egg without breaking it and a pole-top rescue of a life-sized mannequin, simulating the rescue of an injured coworker. Judges evaluate speed, technique and adherence to safety standards, highlighting the precision and preparation required in real-world linework.

Beyond the competition, the rodeo celebrates the electric utility community. Bluebonnet teams, joined by family and friends, will cheer on their peers. The public is invited to watch the events along the Guadalupe River and see firsthand the skill and dedication of lineworkers.
