Canoochee EMC Linemen Shine at 2025 Georgia Lineman’s Rodeo
Canoochee EMC lineworkers showed off their skills, teamwork and dedication at the 2025 Georgia Lineman’s Rodeo held in early May. The annual event brings together electric utility lineworkers from across Georgia and the Southeast to compete in events that test their training, safety and expertise in the field.
Organized by the Georgia Lineman’s Rodeo Association, the competition features challenges for journeymen and apprentices. Events range from pole climbing and equipment repairs to rescue scenarios—giving teams a chance to practice under pressure and be recognized for their hard work.
More than just a contest, the rodeo encourages excellence in safety, reinforces critical skills and strengthens relationships among electric co-ops and utilities across the region.
Canoochee Lineman Ray Conaway summed it up best in a message to the team, “Shout out to the 2025 Canoochee EMC rodeo team! Y’all knocked it out of the park—bringing grit, heart and Southern fire to every step of the journey. I couldn’t be prouder to ride alongside such a dedicated, hardworking crew. Your talent and teamwork make every challenge worth it. Being part of your ongoing success is not just a job, it’s a privilege. Let’s keep that fire burning. I love my job—and I love this team!”
