Case Construction Equipment will provide construction equipment to the 14th National Gas Rodeo, to be held Sept. 19-20 in Fairview Heights, Ill. The rodeo will feature utility crews in a variety of skill events that showcase natural gas equipment installations. As many as 30 teams are expected to compete in the event, which attracts gas crews from across the nation. The rodeo is produced by the Midwest Energy Association.

“We're happy to welcome Case back as a Platinum level sponsor,” says Al Jablonowski, chairman of the National Gas Rodeo. “As the sole provider of all construction equipment, in addition to its financial support, Case is demonstrating a strong commitment to the natural gas industry and the professional development of the industry's skilled workforce.” Case recently signed on for five more years at the Platinum level. This commitment ensures that team members will be able to compete using the Case 580 Super M Series 3 loader/backhoe.
