L2022 Locate Rodeo
ouisiana’s Locate Rodeo is part of the celebration that the Damage Prevention Summit brings to Louisiana each year. Thanks to the sponsors and volunteers for making this event so special. Our team leader is Brandi
Schmitt, Entergy. Her attention to detail ensures a smooth
ride. A special thanks to Daniel Brooks and to the leadership at DEMCO for their hospitality and making their space available for the Rodeo. To all the competitors who made this year’s Rodeo exciting, just know we appreciate the grind you face every day, and this event is to celebrate you and the great jobs you do. That’s part of the reason, the committee opted to have cash prizes along with the plaques and the 2022 grand prize was $1,000 cash. I already hear that next year’s grand prize will be even bigger. We’ll keep you posted... and congratulations to all the contestants.
