BPUB to Hold Community Event in October
The Brownsville Public Utilities Board (BPUB) will hold its Big Public Utilities Bash at 1425 Robinhood Dr. on Oct. 10 from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
This free event is a celebration of Public Power Month, where BPUB extends Public Power Week into a month-long celebration highlighting the advantages of municipally owned utilities.
Attendee stands next to a BPUB bucket truck during last year’s Touch-a-Truck event, now one of the many activities featured in the upcoming Big Public Utilities Bash.
Children will get the chance to learn about some of the trucks and equipment BPUB crews use every day. In addition to the truck displays, there will be informational booths manned by BPUB employees.
The event will be open to the public. In addition, there will be free food and giveaways (while supplies last) as well as vendors, community partners, and a raffle for adults with useful items for the home.
This event will feature many activities for the whole family, including a children’s solar car race, touch-a-truck activities, bucket truck ride raffle, a superhero costume contest, various vendors, and more.
“We’re thrilled to welcome our Brownsville community to the Big Public Utilities Bash!” said Marilyn D. Gilbert, BPUB General Manager & CEO. “This event is all about celebrating the people we serve—and the honor of doing so through dedication, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility. It’s a chance for families to connect with BPUB in a fun, hands-on way and learn more about the resources that help keep our city running. We’re proud to open our doors and share the excitement with everyone!”
