Every year, Progress Energy hosts a series of Linemen's Rodeos, in which linemen compete in a series of challenges to determine the safest, fastest, and strongest men in the power utility industry. Since Progress is one of Connector Products' most important accounts, Nick, Kai and I decided to attend the Carolinas regional competition held on April 17 & 18. We met up with our North Carolina sales rep, Jack O'Connor of Utility Lines, and several guys Nick has worked closely with in the past few years, including Matthew Prince from Progress Energy and his colleagues.
The weather was fantastic, and our four-year-old son Kai was thrilled to be able to participate in the action himself with a mini-pole climb. He spent most of the day enjoying the moonbounce, giant inflatable slide, and free ice cream. While we were there we fell in love with the people, scenery, and slower pace of life of the lovely state of North Carolina.
