Pennyrile Electric hosting Membership Appreciation events this week

Pennyrile Electric is taking the time to show their appreciate to the members, as they host several community events over the next week.

Officials with the cooperative were in Cadiz Monday handing out buckets and light bulbs, and Brent Gilkey says they had already had over 600 members come by before noon, registering for a chance to win prizes.

He says the pandemic changed the way they used to do it—handing out gifts at their annual meeting during the Western Kentucky State Fair—and they saw such great turn out at the individual events that they decided to keep it that way.

They will still have their meeting this year but they’ll be holding it virtually on June 28, and Gilkey says the information on how to participate can be found in the member’s copy of Kentucky Living magazine.

Hopkinsville’s Membership Appreciation Day will be Wednesday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. outside Pennyrile Electric on East 21st Street, and then they’ll be in Elkton on Friday at 421 South Main Street. For more information, follow Pennyrile Electric on Facebook.
