Andrew York Lineman Rodeo
Andrew York was struck by a drunk driver while working as a lineman for Chelan PUD. To honor Andrew’s memory, Chelan PUD, together with other local utilities and supporters, created the Andrew York Memorial Lineman Rodeo.  Linemen from around the Northwest test their skills in competition at the annual rodeo which is dedicated to increasing public awareness about the senseless deaths and injuries caused by impaired driving.
