Harrison REMC linemen recently showcased their skills at the 2026 Indiana Electric Cooperative Lineman Rodeo, a two-day competition that brings together the best of the best from across the state. This year, 29 teams and 67 individuals from 23 Indiana cooperatives competed in a series of events that tested speed, precision, and safety — the same qualities linemen use every day to keep the lights on for members. We are proud of our linemen for representing Harrison REMC with excellence. The awards won by the Harrison REMC linemen are shown below.
