Decatur County REMC held its 85th Annual Meeting: "Electrifying Tomorrow"
Jun. 24—GREENSBURG — Decatur County Rural Electric Membership Cooperative hosted members at their annual meeting on Friday, June 16, at the Decatur County Fairgrounds.
Eight hundred fifty members were served a fried chicken dinner prepared by CPs Tavern followed by ice cream from Hillbilly Corner.
After members ate, they visited vendor booths from Lohrum Electrical, Koenig Equipment, Stone's Farm Service and Hoosier Energy.
Next, they stopped by to see DCREMC's lineman Collin Crabtree, who shared his experience bringing electricity to a village in Guatemala.
Members were also treated to a live line demonstration and got to see electric vehicles.
On their way out, some members took a break and rocked in chairs borrowed from Vinyl Solutions Unlimited while chatting with their CEO.
Children in attendance made solar jars or bird feeders at the Little Crew Corner and were treated to a high ride on a bucket truck.
Members in attendance were also given a $10 bill credit and the opportunity to win prizes valued more than $2,600.
"It was truly a great day for our members, and we enjoyed the opportunity to build relationships with all. I appreciate the employees and our business partners that helped make this such a great event!" DCREMC CEO Bret Abplanalp said.
