FEC sponsoring electrical safety contest

Firelands Electric Cooperative invites students in kindergarten through fifth grade to enter its 2021 Electrical Safety Contest. Children living in a home that receives its power from the co-op are eligible to participate.

To enter, students simply need to show off their knowledge of electrical safety by completing the crossword puzzle available in the March issue of Ohio Cooperative Living magazine and on Firelands Electric’s website (www.firelandsec.com/contests). Submit the completed and signed puzzle by mail to: Electrical Safety Contest, Firelands Electric Cooperative, P.O. Box 32, New London, OH 44851. Entries may also be scanned and emailed to members@firelandsec.com (maximum file size of 10 MB) or completed online at www. firelandsec.com/contests. Entries must be received by Firelands Electric Cooperative before 8 a.m. on Monday, March 22.

Students who correctly answer at least eight puzzle clues will have their name entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of three restaurant gift cards.

In May, as part of National Electrical Safety Month, winners will be featured in the local pages of Ohio Cooperative Living magazine, as well as on Firelands Electric Cooperative’s website and social media outlets.

Visit www.firelandsec.com/contests for a copy of the official contest rules. If you have questions, please contact the member services department at 1-800-533-8658.
