FKEC Lights Up Marathon & Tavernier

Florida Keys Electric Cooperative once again helped light up its community by decorating both its Tavernier and Marathon facilities for the holiday season.

In Marathon, FKEC invited members and their children to the annual lighting ceremony for the Marathon office building. In addition to the big countdown, FKEC also set up toy houses for the children to play in and invited Santa and Mrs. Claus to hand out candy canes.
