ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES: GOING BEYOND THE WIRES It’s Tuesday October 31st; today is Halloween and there will be so many houses decorated and lit up. Mrs. Tori dropped Cindy off at her best friend Amanda’s house so they could go trick-or-treating in the evening.

In 2013 electric co-ops secured more than $4 million in economic development loans. " I think it's so cool that our electric cooperatives are owned by the people that own it and not owned by the government," Amanda stated. It started to rain so hard the tv signal went away but the electricity didn't, the lights were still on. " You see Amanda this is the best Reliable, and affordable electricity ever," exclaimed Cindy!
