Experience electricity safety in a hands-on, eye-opening way with Lake Country Power's interactive safety demonstration trailer.

This engaging outdoor presentation brings electrical safety to life through realistic demonstrations that show what can happen when electricity is not treated with care. Participants will witness a variety of scenarios, including downed power lines, electrical hazards around the home, and why safety equipment is so important.

One of the most memorable demonstrations uses a hot dog to show how electricity affects the human body and why staying away from power lines can save lives. You'll also learn about the importance of GFCI outlets, electrical safety around water, and what to do if you encounter dangerous situations involving electricity.

Perfect for youth, families, and community members of all ages, this powerful demonstration helps build awareness, spark conversations, and provide practical knowledge that can help keep everyone safe.

Listen. Learn. Live. Join us for this unique educational experience and discover how a few simple safety lessons can make a lifelong difference.
