Download the Lineman Celebration Week Cookbook

Oct. 26, 2020
As part of Food & Fun Friday, we are presenting a collection of recipes in our eBook sponsored by Quanta Services.

Traditionally, during the International Lineman's Rodeo Week, we gather together for a BBQ feast the night before the day of competition on the Rodeo grounds. As linemen, their families and friends all know, food brings people together. 

To celebrate the camaraderie of the line trade and the fun of the BBQ, we created a special cookbook for Lineman Celebration Week. A wide variety of contributors---from linemen and their families to exhibitors and members of the Endeavor Business sales, marketing and editorial team--submitted recipes for the eBook. The caterer for the Lineman's Rodeo BBQ, Fiorella's Jack Stack, even sent in their recipe for their creamy coleslaw.

Thank you to all of our contributors and to our sponsors for Food & Fun Friday: Quanta Services and Lineman Barn. We will be announcing the winners of the prizes, including 10 $150 gift cards to Cabela's, soon to our randomly selected contributors. In the meantime, you can download a PDF of the cookbook sponsored by Quanta Services.
