Decatur County REMC hosts 86th Annual Meeting
From Abby Asher
Decatur County Rural Electric Membership Cooperative hosted members at their annual meeting on
recently at the Decatur County Fairgrounds. The festivities kicked off at 4 pm with food and
engagement.
Over 1,000 meals were prepared by C&P Tavern followed by ice cream from HillBilly Corner. Members
were treated this year by being served from the North Decatur Football Team and we had a great cleanup
crew thanks to the 4H Junior Leaders.
There was an array of electric vehicles courtesy of Russ Hubler
Automotive, Southeastern Indiana REMC, and Hoosier Energy. Members were also treated to a live line
demonstration and bucket truck rides. Additionally, there were special treats for our youngest attendees at the Little Crew Corner, with some joining our newest Little Crew Club.
The evening wrapped up with a business meeting, the annual election results, and over $4,000 in prizes
donated by our community and business partners. Brett Abplanalp, CEO, states, “This annual event is a
personal favorite of mine. Seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones, listening to their feedback, and
expressing gratitude for their membership is truly incomparable.”
