October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month which is celebrated to educate about, advocate for and celebrate people with Down syndrome. The month is all about breaking down barriers and showing the world that people with Down syndrome are more alike than different.

Yesterday, many of our employees wore blue or yellow to celebrate those rocking an extra chromosome!

Today, Stearns Electric participated in the 2026 EPIC - Exploring Potential Interests & Careers event at St. Cloud Technical & Community College. Over 4,500 sophomores from dozens of area schools got a chance to visit different career clusters to learn more about potential career opportunities and participate in hands-on activities from dozens of local employers.

Our employees had a great time interacting with students, teaching them about some electrical safety and letting them try their hand at some skills our linemen, substation technicians and electricians use daily. Students were able to exchange a cutout on a mock power pole, replace an elbow on a padmount transformer and pull a meter on our electrician wall.

Thanks to all of the students who stopped outside to try these activities - you all were great participants who tried new things and asked awesome questions. We are proud to also be a sponsor of this great event for our local students!
