Since 2019, Northern Electric has teamed up with local cooperatives to educate Brown County fairgoers on farm safety. Agtegra, Avera, FEM Electric Association of Ipswich, Lake Region Electric Association of Webster, East River Electric Power Cooperative and Northern Electric will give safety demonstrations to children and their families on Aug. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Kids’ Zone tent. 

Northern and our fellow electricity cooperatives collaborate to make sure there won’t be duplicate displays. This year, kids will have a chance to see Power Town, try on lineman gear, get a plastic lineman hat and, of course, talk to some real linemen. 

The event is free and open to the public. There will also be gift bags, while supplies last.
