Celebrating public power with a coloring contest

Ripley Power and Light Company celebrated October’s Public Power Week with a coloring contest for elementary school-aged children.

Public Power Week celebrates reliable, low-cost electricity provided by public power utilities.

Ripley Power and Light is among the more than 2,000 community-owned, not-for-profit electric utilities in the United States. These utilities power the homes and businesses of 49 million Americans, invest in their communities and support local commerce and jobs.

The coloring contest sheets represented this year’s theme of “2,000 Utilities. One Purpose.”

Winners in the local contest are Hattie H., who is in pre-kindergarten; Freyja D., second grade; Kynslea H., third grade; Emrys D., fourth grade; and Lyra D., sixth grade. Each winner received a $50 Visa gift card from Ripley Power and Light.
