Young artists invited to join PUD's contest

Grant PUD invites children age 12 and under to participate in its special 75th Anniversary art contest. Participants create a work of art with the theme “How my family uses electricity,” using the PUD’s contest form.

The forms can be downloaded from http://www.grantpud.org/community/education, picked up at a local office of the electric utility or at several local libraries.

The forms, with the completed artwork, can be turned into a Grant PUD local office in Ephrata, Moses Lake, Quincy, Grand Coulee, Royal City or the Mattawa City Hall. The forms can also be taken to Grant PUD’s booth at the Grant County Fair from Aug. 13 to 17.

Everyone who enters will receive a free nightlight and be entered into a random drawing for a boat tour. The winning contestant and three members of their family will tour along the Wanapum Reservoir section of the Columbia River.

For more information, see grantpud.org, call (509) 754-5035 or email publicaffairs@grantpud.org. Contest forms and crayons will also be available for young artists at the PUD booth during fair week. Tuesday, Aug. 13, is Free Day at the fair, sponsored by Grant PUD.
