Berkeley Electric was proud to host the 4th Annual South Carolina Lineman's Rodeo on Saturday, March 16 at its Moncks Corner headquarters. Sixteen cooperatives from around the state sent teams of apprentices and journeyman linemen to compete in a series of friendly competitions that showcased both skills and safety.
