CFU's Energy and Environmental Fair Will Offer Food, Fun, Information and More Saturday

From Cedar Falls Utilities:

Bring your family and join your friends at the Energy & Environmental Fair, CFU’s annual showcase of ways you can save energy, save money and save the earth. The event returns to CFU’s campus at Utility Parkway and Waterloo Road on August 24 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

It’s also a customer appreciation day, so admission, parking, kids’ activities, welcome gifts and lunch from the grill are all free for Energy Fair guests.

In 2013, we're celebrating 125 years of community-owned service in Cedar Falls! We'll have cake to mark the occasion and information about CFU's role supporting our community.
