Several utilities partnered with Iowa One Call this year on August 11th to educate and promote 8-11 day, Call Before You Dig.  Here are several photos from one such event that was held in Orange City and promoted by Bryan Gerritson, Public Works Director.  This was a fun way to go out into the field to meet with contractors/excavators, and to promote excavation safety and underground damage prevention.  Ben Booth at Iowa One Call does this type of event a couple times a year – when they go out to work sites and visit with contractors; they typically take along some ‘811 cookies’ to hand out to the crews, after which they ask the crews to pose with the banner for photos, which they then publish/post on our website and other publications.
