Meeker Energy Member Appreciation Gathering

Meeker Energy will host its annual appreciation gathering for its members and for Vibrant Broadband subscribers on Wednesday from 4:30-to-7:30 p.m. at its complex on East Highway 12 in Litchfield. The Meeker Energy annual meeting will be held at 4 p.m.

Energy Services Manager Steve Kosbab says Meeker Energy has been providing electrical service to people in Meeker County and beyond since 1935 and Vibrant Broadband began in 2019 to provide internet services. He says they’ll be serving Wattenhofer pork chops on a stick during the appreciation event on Wednesday evening along with beans, chips and water, and there will also be a petting zoo, bingo and several vendor booths.

Marketing & Communications Specialist Shane Zeppelin says the name change from Meeker Cooperative to Meeker Energy is about a year old and their members have embraced the change and they are still a member-owned cooperative. He says Vibrant Broadband has been helping to get internet to areas that either had no internet or had poor service and they are continuing to expand in areas such as north of Litchfield, Grove City and Atwater; west of Paynesville; north of Hawick; south of Belgrade; and in Svea – south of Willmar.
