As part of National Electrical Safety Month, Firelands Electric Cooperative is once again sponsoring a contest for children in grades K-5.
To enter, students simply need to complete the safety activity at the link below or submit the paper version from the May issue of Ohio Cooperative Living. Three students will be selected to attend a special lunch with some of Firelands Electric’s linemen and participate in a behind-the-scenes look at the co-op’s utility equipment later this summer!
Contest rules:
- Children in grades K-5 who attend one of the schools in or around the co-op’s service territory are eligible to enter. (They are not required to be co-op members to enter!)
- Students simply need to complete and submit the safety activity, and their parent or guardian complete the consent portion.
- Paper entries may be mailed to: Safety Contest, Firelands Electric Cooperative, 103 Industrial Drive, New London, OH 44851. Entries may also be completed online, dropped off at the co-op office, or emailed to members@firelandsec.com.
- Entries must be received by 4 p.m. on Friday, June 6.
- All entries received will be placed into a drawing for a chance to win one of three spots for an exclusive tour of the co-op and lunch with some of Firelands’ linemen. Each of the three winners will be permitted to bring one or two adult chaperones to the event, which is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, July 23.
- Winners will also be featured in the local pages of a future issue of Ohio Cooperative Living magazine, as well as on Firelands Electric Cooperative’s website and social media outlets.
