National Line Worker Appreciation Day is April 10. It’s a chance to thank the men and women who work day and night, 365 days a year, to build, restore and maintain the nation’s — and Bluebonnet’s — power supply system.
Electric cooperatives observe the second Monday in April as National Line Worker Appreciation Day, after a 2014 decision by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association board.
Alternatively, National Lineman Appreciation Day on April 18 also honors those who work around the clock to keep the power going.
Check out Bluebonnet’s social media to see our kudos to Bluebonnet’s line workers. It’s a perfect opportunity to say thanks to the cooperative’s line workers.
