About 1,200 people turned out for the Moon Lake Electric annual meeting on Thursday, from babes in arms and excited kids to a few who still remembered when the lights came on for the first time in the late 1930s.

At last year's annual meeting Earl had announced there would be a rate increase between 6 and 8 percent starting Jan. 1, but that increase turned out not to be needed, he said. Uintah Basin Standard
