Wed October 23, 2024 - Midwest Edition #22
CEG


The Minnesota Fall Maintenance Expo was held Oct. 2 to 3 at the St. Cloud Public Works Facility in St. Cloud, Minn. This year 2,321 were in attendance and were eligible to receive .5 credits/day towards the Roads Scholar Program Maintenance Certificate.

The two-day event is sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), Minnesota Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), Minnesota Street Superintendents Association and American Public Works Association/Minnesota Chapter. It is open to all city, county and state maintenance employees and supervisors, plus transportation and research implementation personnel.

While addressing fall and winter transportation maintenance issues, vendors were on hand to show the latest equipment and technologies at the indoor and outdoor display areas. Speakers also present the latest industry information.

The annual "Snowplow Roadeo" is always popular, allowing competitors to compete on a closed course. The top two drivers in this years' Snowplow Roadeo are Chad Dunkley of Mille Lacs County, Minn., and Kevin Davis of Sherburne County, Minn. The top two excavator operators are Chad Dunkley of Mille Lacs County, Minn., and Jesse Backstrom of Cook County Highway. Dunkley and Davis will be invited to compete in the Western Snow and Ice Show in Loveland, Colo. next September.
