“We are very excited to partner with JPEC to make our annual Christmas in the Park Light Show bigger and better than ever. It is partnerships like this that make it possible for us to grow and offer even more to the people across the area to enhance their holiday experience. We look forward to the future of this event and this partnership as we work together to serve our communities.” – Marshall County Parks Department Director, Britney Heath.
Scott Adair, VP of Human Resources and Communications says “What a privilege to be involved with one of the largest Christmas Light shows in Western KY. This is a great opportunity to assist multiple non-profits that are doing great things in our communities. Being involved in events like this, helps to reveal who we are as your electric cooperative, we are part of the communities we serve and we want to see those areas thrive.”
