Upcoming Events

In addition to the year-round activities available at the World of Energy, we’re constantly hosting special community events and celebrations. Whether catering to Boy Scouts, nearby senior citizens, school groups, or businesswomen, there’s likely an upcoming event that you’ll enjoy! You can read more about our outreach and involvement in our Community Relations Report.

JULY/AUGUST

Whether you're just beginning to trace your family roots or are well along the way, genealogy expert Anne Sheriff will provide tips that help guide you through your journey. Learn how to get started, what resources are available and where to turn if you get stuck. She'll also have advice for those without family in this area and tell you why it's important to make sure your research is included in your Living Will.
