Who's the best backhoe operator? That's what the NOWRA National Backhoe Roe-D-Hoe will determine. It will be held at the 2011 Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo in Louisville March 2-5. Contestants will try their hand at accomplishing a series of tasks that demonstrate the ability to operate a backhoe quickly and with precision. In past years, events have included shooting a basket, chipping a golf ball into a cup, or picking up a spare by knocking down bowling pins. What will be the events in 2011? The only way to know is to come to the Expo.
The grand prize is $1,000. The competition will be open to all participants on Thursday and Friday of the show (March 3-4). Participants can enter more than once. The five finalists from the first two days will then compete on Saturday to see who gets to take home the grand prize and wear the Roe-D-Hoe Championship Belt.
