At the American Public Works Association’s Snow Expo drivers and mechanics gracefully maneuver their snowplows through narrow courses, trying to steer clear of “curbs” and “pedestrians” along the way. Others got behind backhoes, wheel loaders and excavators to learn new techniques through friendly competitions.
Training is critical for first responders. The Snow Expo held annually by the Heart of America Chapter of the American Public Works Association(APWA) in the Kansas City area is an important component to that training, by improving performance through competition.
Congratulations to all of the individual competition winners and to Overland Park, KS, the 2011 team competition winner.
