Area juniors selected for Nolin RECC Washington trip

Nolin RECC has announced the area students who have been selected to participate in their annual Washington Youth Tour, sponsored by the co-op and Kentucky Electric Cooperatives.

According to a release from the co-op, the selected students are high school juniors whose parents or guardians receive electric service from Nolin RECC who applied for the program and were selected based on committee review of “a submitted essay, their knowledge of Nolin RECC and cooperatives, and an in-person interview.”

The selected students are Madison Smith from Central Hardin High School, Alejandro Alamaraz from Elizabethtown High School, Maddox Coffman from LaRue County High School, and home school students Julianne Brindle and Avery Fortenberry.

“Nolin is excited to be able to send students once again to Washington, D.C. this summer,” said Nolin RECC Communications Manager Sarah Fellows. “They’re going to be joining other students from cooperatives around Kentucky and around the nation for this once in a lifetime opportunity.”

The visit to Washington D.C. this June will include stops at The Smithsonian Institute, Arlington National Cemetery, the U.S. Capitol building, and other sites, and will include a visit with Kentucky’s congressional delegation.
