Happening in Fulton: Public Works Rodeo

June 03, 2025

The annual Public Works Equipment Rodeo commenced during the annual Public Works Week. Hear more from Public Works Director David Clark. Every year we celebrate Public Works Week: a bunch of events: some involving the public, some involving the elected officials. Today it's staff focused. We're having our annual equipment rodeo where we do a series of skill tests on a variety of different equipment that we use every day. Right now we're doing a basketball challenge where you have to put a basketball into the bucket of an excavator, and then you put the basketball over into a pipe. It sounds easy, but it's very difficult, it's under time, it's under a lot of pressure, and there's a lot of good camaraderie between the north versus south crews. I like Public Works Week because that kinds of gives us a chance to really shine and remind people what we do every day so that they don't have to think about what we do.
