Lake Charles’ Diggers’ Night Out Was a HUGE Success!
Abig thank you to the Lake Charles Utility Coordinating Council for putting on such a fantastic event. It was amazing to see so many dedicated excavators, utility professionals, and colleagues come together for a night of collaboration about all things utilities.
The turnout was incredible, and the sponsors truly went all out
with some amazing door prizes. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was filled with camaraderie and valuable discussions around safety and best practices in the field. This is the secret sauce to damage prevention!
Special shout-out to our guest speakers Greg Galle and the Executive Director of Louisiana 811, Brent Saltzman, who both delivered insightful presentations on damage prevention and the importance
of working together to keep our communities safe. Their words resonated with everyone in attendance. Thank you to our MC, Damage Prevention Manager, Billy Forest.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, participated and supported this event. Together, we’re making our work safer and more efficient every day!
