The Richmond Area Municipal Contractors Association (RAMCA) held its fifth annual Construction Rodeo and Expo April 17, 2025, in the Richmond City Stadium.
Many local equipment dealers had machines on hand for the more than 100 guests to look over and in some cases operate.
New to this year's rodeo were three mini-excavator competitions. James River Equipment, Hills Machinery and Carter Machinery all brought in mini-excavators to challenge members on their operating skills.
Travis Baker of Sargent Corporation claimed the title of "RAMCA's Best Excavator Operator" by completing all three challenges with the least number of points deducted.
RAMCA was formed to represent the interests of utility, heavy, and highway constructors, and their industry associates, who perform work or conduct business in the greater Richmond metropolitan area. CEG
