Touch a Truck

On Friday, June 18, Dixie Electric was invited to participate in the Downtown Ellisville Farmers Market Touch-A-Truck event. Along with other participants, such as the Ellisville fire department and local farmers, Dixie Electric Apprentice Lineman Landon Martin brought the bucket truck to life by taking the bucket 50 feet in the air.
Children could climb in the bucket and observe the tools necessary for a lineman to work on power lines. Communication Assistant Amanda Mills greeted each child with a balloon and their very own Dixie Electric hard hat. Everyone stopped and watched in amazement as the lineman showed how far in the air the bucket truck could go. Kids waved to him from the ground as he waved back from the bucket.
We love our communities and are always glad to support local events, such as the Downtown Ellisville Farmers Market. It’s just one of the ways that your Dixie Electric membership matters.
