OG&E line crews went head-to-head in the 34th annual Linemen's Expo, an annual companywide friendly competition showcasing its line workers’ skills and stamina. Families and colleagues were among the spectators cheering on the line crews who tirelessly help contribute directly to a healthy power grid, ensuring our customers receive reliable power, particularly during severe weather.

The energy was electric as hundreds of line workers, family members and employees attended and volunteered at the event. The event kicked off with a flag-raising ceremony with the sunrise as its backdrop. Teams of linemen then put their skills to the test in a series of strenuous obstacles and timed events ranging from power pole climbing to simulated injured worker rescues, all with safety in mind. The expo also featured a 5k run, a classic car show, grill master contest, OKC Thunder’s Rumble and entertainers, and a kids' fun zone.

The top three overall winners in the following categories - Team Competition, Over 45, and Apprentice - will represent OG&E to compete with the best linemen around the world at the International Lineman’s Rodeo and Expo from October 15 to 18 in Overland Park, Kansas.
