Get ready for the OPALCO Annual Member Festival on May 8 at 3 pm., when Lopez Center for Community and the Arts will be transformed into a hub of fun, freebies and festivities for the whole family.

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, check out a bucket 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. Check out the latest in home electric tools and talk with home efficiency experts about 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. The whole OPALCO team will be at the event to chat about topics from billing questions to the engineering of 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 to get your bag of goodies and a schedule of events for the day.
