Linemen Appreciation Day honors those who help keep the power on

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The second Monday of April is Linemen Appreciation Day, a day to celebrate those who go out into storms and ensure everyone has power.

Warren RECC is honoring their linemen, who have around 7,000 hours of training to work on those lines.

For one linemen in particular, he says seeing the support the community gives him and his fellow linemen is amazing.

“I think I’m talking for everyone here. It means a lot to us to have, the support of our members. It’s a good feeling whenever they come out and they say we appreciate what you’re doing. Even whenever we are working in bad weather, they’ll come to us, and that’s just a good feeling,” Ethan Cartwright says.

A lot of linemen’s work goes unnoticed, so if you see one, make sure to thank them for what they do.
