2012 Youth Tour Contest
For the 30th year, Pedernales Electric is joining other electric cooperatives across the country to participate in the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s Youth Tour program. For PEC's 2012 Youth Tour Contest, we asked area high school students to write essays considering green initiatives for their school, community or favorite organization.
Twelve finalists were selected to present their essays at the Lower Colorado River Authority Redbud Center in Austin on Nov. 19. An independent panel of judges selected six students as winners of an expense-paid June 2012 trip to Washington, D.C., to tour historical sites and meet local political representatives.
