Be a "skidster" at Fall Maintenance Expo
Mark your calendar for the Minnesota Fall Maintenance Expo featuring a new "Skidster Competition." The annual expo is being held at the St. Cloud Public Works Facility on October 6–7, 2004. As always this event will be sponsored by the Minnesota Public Works Association (MPWA), Minnesota Street Superintendents Association (MSSA), Minnesota LTAP, Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) and the Minnesota Local Road Research Board (LRRB).
Twenty-one hour-long training sessions will cover topics such as:
- snow and ice control
- homeland security
- accidents, health, and safety
- truck weight compliance training
- equipment expositions
- truck set-up for winter maintenance operations
Two equipment competitions will be held: the annual "Snow Roadeo" for snowplow drivers, and a new "Skidster Competition" for all participants. Preregistration is only required for the roadeo.
Typical registration is $20 for one day, $35 for two days. Additional registration of $15 per person will be required for snow roadeo.
Look for the brochure in the mail shortly.
