2016 Public Power Lineworkers Rodeo <br /> Planning and Needs <br /> October 22, 2014 <br /> Planning for APPA's 2016 Public Power Lineworkers Rodeo has begun. Our first planning meeting was <br /> held September 30 and was an overwhelming success. We accomplished a lot, but have much more to <br /> do. A special thank you to all who attended! <br /> A key development from this meeting was to provide the membership with estimated budget figures <br /> so our cities and utilities can contribute funds to a category of their choosing. Below you will find the <br /> estimated construction and ancillary costs needed to make the rodeo a success. Members who have <br /> already committed to donating to each event are noted. To be a part of the construction process, let <br /> me know if there is someone on the list you would like to work with. The more cities we have sharing <br /> an event the more affordable it becomes for all. <br /> Construction Donation Needs <br /> Estimated cost per event $8,000 <br /> Apprentice Events (4) <br /> Event#2— Hurtman Rescue— MRES, Fairmont, Brainerd <br /> Event#3—Willmar, Sauk Centre <br /> Event#4—Chaska, Glencoe <br /> Event#5—Owatonna, Sleepy Eye <br /> Journeyman Events (5) <br /> Event#1— Hurtman Rescue— MRES, Fairmont, Brainerd <br /> Event#2— Detroit Lakes, Elk River <br /> Event#3—Shakopee, New Prague <br /> Event#4— Marshall, Hutchinson, New Ulm <br /> Event#5—Austin, Rochester <br /> Funding for the event construction will be needed by September 2015. We will be constructing the <br /> rodeo grounds late summer/early fall next year so things are set come April 2016. Please do not send <br /> money now. We are only asking for commitments at this time. <br /> 122 <br />
