Christmas is only four months away, which means Horry Electric is searching for a young artist to design our company Christmas card! We’re looking for the help of students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Students are encouraged to be as creative and colorful as possible, while incorporating our electric cooperative into their Christmas card theme. This could include: Willie Wiredhand (co-op mascot), bucket/line trucks, linemen, employees, power lines, light bulbs, co-op territory scenery, etc.
Horry Electric will be presenting a $100 cash award to the student whose card is chosen for our Cooperative to send out this Christmas.
