⚡ Caney Fork Electric Cooperative Hosts 2026 Annual Meeting in McMinnville

Caney Fork Electric Cooperative is bringing members together for its annual gathering, a tradition that combines member voting, community connection, and celebration. The event reflects the cooperative’s commitment to keeping members informed and engaged in the decisions that shape reliable electricity service across the region.

📅 What to Expect

The 2026 Annual Meeting takes place Saturday, November 7, at Milner Recreation Center (formerly McMinnville Civic Center). The day opens with voting for the cooperative’s board of directors from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 🗳️ Cooperative members who plan to vote should bring a photo ID – it’s required to cast a ballot. Voters will receive free gifts while supplies last.

🍖 Food, Entertainment & Prizes

A complimentary barbecue lunch runs from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. (while supplies last; no carry-outs). Live entertainment by The Gilley Brothers begins at noon, adding a festive atmosphere to the gathering. ✨ After the formal business meeting starts at 2 p.m., door prizes follow – 50 gifts will be awarded throughout the day, including “free electricity” certificates.

💡 Why This Matters

Annual meetings are how cooperative members stay connected to the organization that serves their power needs. They offer a chance to learn about cooperative operations, ask questions, and have a voice in leadership decisions. For members across Van Buren County and surrounding areas, it’s an opportunity to understand the cooperative’s priorities and challenges firsthand.
