The Town of Wake Forest and Wake Forest Power (WFP) are joining more than 2,000 not-for-profit utilities in celebrating Public Power Week October 5-11. As part of this annual week-long celebration, the Town and Wake Forest Power will offer a variety of free events and activities.
Enter to Win Free Electricity
From now through Thursday, Oct. 9, at 4 p.m. Wake Forest Power residential customers can enter to win free electricity in October in one of two ways. Choose from the options below - only one entry per account:
- Participate in the Public Power Week Trivia Contest. All the answers to the trivia questions can be found on the Town of Wake Forest website. Every customer that answers all 10 questions correctly will be entered into a drawing for free electricity.
- Donate a minimum of four non-perishable items for the Mini Pantry at H.O.P.E. House at our Customer Service counter in the lobby of Town Hall.
Three winners (two from the Trivia Contest submissions and one from those that donate non-perishable items) will be announced on the Wake Forest Power Facebook page.
Savings for Seniors Bingo
Wake Forest-area seniors are invited to enjoy a special morning of bingo on Tuesday, Oct. 7, from 10-11:30 a.m. at the Wake Forest Center for Active Aging, 235 E.
