FREE HOT DOGS
WFP will celebrate Customer Appreciation Day on Thursday, Oct. 10, by giving away free hot dogs and soft drinks beginning at 11 a.m. Area residents are invited to come get a hot dog while they last.
ELECTRIC SAFETY DEMONSTRATIONS
Also during the day on Thursday, Oct. 10, WFP linemen will offer on-demand electric safety demonstrations in Centennial Plaza for groups of two or more.
The creative program will teach children and adults smart electrical safety habits, demonstrate the power of electricity, and show the potential hazards associated with unsafe actions around power lines, pad mount transformers, and switchgear.
Participants will also experience what it’s like to be a lineman and how they stay safe when working with electricity.
By handling tools and safety equipment, visitors will have the chance to learn firsthand the importance of electrical safety.
WFP will also display a bucket truck and other equipment in the Town Hall parking lot for visitors to view and enjoy.
