WPGA Bobtail Roadeo

1st Annual Roadeo Review

Safety, knowledge and precision driving took center stage as the WPGA hosted its first Bobtail Roadeo on September 16 at Country Visions Cooperative in Brillion.

The event brought together 13 contestants and approximately 30 volunteers to celebrate the professionals who safely deliver propane to Wisconsin homes, farms and businesses.

WPGA thanks Country Visions Cooperative for opening its Brillion facility and providing the space and support that made the Roadeo possible.
