REC Bucket Truck Brings Cheer to Downtown Front Royal
Tuesday | December 8, 2020

REC's bright yellow, “Big Foot” bucket truck was not in its usual environment on Dec. 5. Normally the truck faces the rigorous mountain areas as it works to help build REC’s electric system. Instead, this past weekend it was cleaned and decorated for the Front Royal Christmas Parade. 

Scott Rickets and Jennifer Cox, employees from REC’s Blue Ridge office in Front Royal, decorated the bucket truck with lots of festive cheer. And REC lineman Troy Jenkins, greeted parade goers as he drove through the parade route to the delight of many in attendance.
