All power should now be restored. If you are still without service, please call the outage number.

While we have several lightning induced outages going on, we have one in particular SW of Frankfort that we will not be able to get access to until the flood waters recede to allow us access. Please stay safe.

Today, 6 students from five area high schools participated in our annual Youth Tour competition. This competition is designed to educate and inspire local high school students about electric cooperatives, leadership and civic engagement.
First, we tested their cooperative knowledge with a short true/false and multiple-choice test. Later the students were presented to our Board of Trustees to give a presentation on themselves and why they feel they would be a good representative for our cooperative. The board then had a short question and answer session with each candidate. Scores were compiled from the tests and interviews to determine the winner.
The winner, Arielle Lindeen, of Axtell High School, will receive an all-expense paid trip to Washington D.C. While there she will join other students from across the nation to learn firsthand about government, history, and the role electric cooperatives play at the national level.
Second place, Lincoln Menold, of Sabetha High School, will receive an all-expense paid trip to Steamboat Springs in Colorado, where he will get a unique educational experience focused on leadership development, teamwork and exploration.
Congratulations to both of these young leaders and thank you to all the candidates for participating in our Youth Tour competition, it is always a fun day for our employees and board members to get to meet all of you.
