OPALCO ANNUAL MEMBER FESTIVAL: APRIL 25, 3-6 pm

Member Appreciation Event Celebrating Local Power

Get ready for the most electrifying event of the year – the OPALCO Annual Member Festival! Mark your calendars for April 25, when San Juan County Fairgrounds will be transformed into a hub of fun, freebies and festivities for the whole family from 3-6 pm.

From swag giveaways to an EV show and informational booths, there’s something for everyone at this Co-op member appreciation event. OPALCO’s linecrew will host safety demos and games, showing how they keep our community powered up and safe. Kids can get their own lineworker hard hat, touch a truck and play in a bouncy house.

The BBQ will be fired up with hot dogs and hamburgers. Get up close and personal with the latest in electric vehicle (EV) technology, including the newest models from mainland EV dealers. Test drive an electric bike and check out the latest in home electric tools. Home efficiency experts will showcase ductless heat pumps and heat pump water heaters.

Meet the Board! Co-op leadership will be on hand to answer questions about local renewable energy – and all things OPALCO. Co-op members can also learn more from engineering staff about the electrical grid.

Feeling lucky? Don’t miss out on our incredible raffle, where you could walk away with fantastic, valuable and useful electric prizes that will leave you buzzing with excitement! Prizes include electric lawn tools, shop-vacs, cordless vacuums, kitchen tools, and coolers! Stop by the welcome booth under OPALCO’s covered front entry to get your bag of goodies and a schedule of events for the day.

If you are planning on coming over from other islands and need a shuttle ride from (and back to) the ferry, please email communications@opalco.com. Each year, the annual member festival will rotate to other islands.

So come one, come all, and join us for a day packed with fun, thrills, and plenty of sparks at the OPALCO Annual Member Festival. It’s an event you won’t want to miss!

The business portion of the Annual Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 24th @ 8:30a on Zoom. Board election results will be announced and the minutes from 2024 approved. Register for the annual business meeting at: https://www.opalco.com/event/opalco-annual-business-meeting/.
