Ozarks Electric Cooperative’s Right of Way Department rolled out some of their heavy equipment for the annual Touch-A-Truck event in Springdale, giving local families an up-close look at the machinery that helps keep power lines clear and reliable.

Children had the chance to sit in a bucket truck, meet Ozarks Electric employees, and take home their very own plastic hard hat. The event offered a fun, hands-on way for kids to learn about the cooperative’s work and the people who make safe, dependable electricity possible.
