Shrewsbury Electric & Cable Operations celebrates Public Power Week at the 2013 Spirit of Shrewsbury Fall Festival

On September 29, 2013, Shrewsbury Electric & Cable Operations was a part of the 2013 Spirit of Shrewsbury Fall Festival, along with many other local companies throughout Shrewsbury.The event was held at the Oak Middle School in Shrewsbury, Mass., from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. SELCO has been a part of the festival since it’s early beginnings in 1997. They have become a staple at the festival and customers make it a point to come visit their booth and see what goodies they are giving out as well as speak to the wonderful staff of SELCO. One customer who came to visit the booth said, "it’s good to see them in a different setting than when I go into the office to pay my bill." 

This year, SELCO was handing out koozies, SELCO bags for the kids, pens, frisbees, water bottles and many other things. They were also selling energy efficient light bulbs, where all proceeds were donated to the Share The Warmth program. Share The Warmth is a program that assists Shrewsbury residents with funding to maintain electric service for heat, light and hot water through the cold winter months. 

SELCO was also handing out other giveaways from their partners including a MLB Little baseball cap, a MLB Little bat key chain, an Outdoor Channel bouncy ball, Cartoon Network cup, DVD from Showtime, Zane Lamprey’s Drinking Made Easy Episode CD, Axs.tv pen, a BBC tiny flask, and a Game of Thrones Pen. 

Jackie Pratt, one of the employees behind the booth, has been going to the festival to represent SELCO for 10 years. She goes on to say, "it’s a great way to reach out to the community and meet the people we only deal with when they pay their bills."
