Caney Fork Celebrates Members Day

Every year, Caney Fork Electric likes to give back to the members who support and rely on them. Member Appreciation Day was May 12 for Sparta, and they were packed. The entire parking lot stretching from Caney Fork all the way down to Floyds was full of folks coming down to enjoy the festivities. With good food and prizes to win, the turnout proved it was another successful day for members.

Member Appreciation Day takes place every year, on a different day throughout the week for their various locations. May 11 was Smithville, May 12 Sparta, May 13 Spencer, and McMinnville on May 14. Just like last year, members who showed up were given a ticket for a raffle. There was a raffle for any visitors who could come down, as well as a member-specific raffle.

Baskin-Robbins ice cream was set up at the event. In the past, it used to be snow cones, but for the past two years, visitors have been treated to a delightful ice cream instead. Just next to it was a stand for refreshments as well. So, folks who came through got to put in their name for the raffle, get their food, sit down under the large tarp on a nice weather day, and cap it all off with some ice cream. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

Angel Wood, Caney Fork’s Communications Coordinator, was excited about the large turnout. She said, “This event is something we can do to show our appreciation for the members. Show them how much we appreciate them, and give back to them, each time in the year.”

This year’s Member Appreciation Day was an even bigger hit than last year, by the looks of the parking at least. The folks at Caney Fork are already excited for another year of business in the Sparta community, and they hope for just as big a turnout at next year’s Appreciation Day.
