23 Feb 2020 ‘My Life’: Poster, essay and video contest planned

Posted at 3:02 PMh in Food & Home Entertaining, Home by

Electricity powers our lives. We rely on it 24 hours a day, seven days a week to support the life we enjoy. Conway Corp has been powering our community since 1929, and we’re proud to provide dependable and reliable services to our friends and neighbors. 

Consider a chargeable gadget like a cell phone, the clock radio that jolts you awake or the TV that brings you the latest entertainment. The water heater that keeps your shower hot and the refrigerator that keeps your soft drinks cold. The automatic sprinkler system that keeps your lawn green and the toaster that turns your bread a crisp, golden brown. The washing machine that sends you off in clean clothes and the automatic garage door that welcomes you safely home – it’s all powered by Conway Corp. 

What powers your day? Students – show us how Conway Corp powers your life by entering the Seventh Annual Conway Corp Energy Smart Poster, Essay & Video Contest.

The poster contest is open to students in PreK-fourth grade in Conway. Using markers, crayons, colored pencils or paints, posters should illustrate the contest theme, “My Life, Powered by Conway Corp.”
