Electric cooperatives across the country will celebrate National Lineworker Appreciation Day on Monday, April 13.
Join us in honoring the dedication of Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative’s lineworkers, who restore power and maintain electrical equipment to provide safe, reliable electricity to our communities.
Visit Bluebonnet’s social media pages that day to see a video recognizing their skill, commitment and teamwork in action.
Electric cooperatives observe the second Monday in April as National Lineworker Appreciation Day, after a 2014 decision by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association board.
(Alternatively, National Lineman Appreciation Day on April 18 also honors those who work around the clock to keep the power going.)
