Congratulations to Paulding Putnam Lineman Austin Wisner for earning first place Overall Journeyman at the recent Indiana Electric Cooperative Lineman Rodeo.

Wisner was a member of a larger team that included linemen Terry Minic and David Taylor. He showed incredible skill in three tough events:

Switching out gear and climbing down a pole without breaking an egg in his mouth.

Changing out and installing pole hardware.

Performing a quick and safe hurt-man rescue from a pole top.
