Flu and COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic
During Breakfast in the Northland the Price County Health Department will be
onsite from 7:30-9:30 a.m. administering Flu and COVID-19 vaccinations.
With flu season just around the corner and the increase in COVID-19 cases in
our area, Price Electric wanted all of our members to have an opportunity for
the vaccinations, if they wish to do so.
No appointments are needed and you must be 12 years or older to receive the
COVID-19 vaccination. Minors must be accompanied by parent/guardian.

ARE HOME ELECTRONICS AND APPLIANCES
DRAINING YOUR ENERGY?
If you collect your spare change in a jar, all those coins add up over time,
usually to a larger amount than you expect.
Small amounts of consumed energy throughout your home add up as well, so
plug “energy vampires” into a smart power strip that detects dormant devices
or unplug items when not in use, especially those with illuminated controls.
