Davis, Calif. – In honor of their five-year anniversary, Valley Clean Energy, the local community choice energy provider, is hosting a free Customer Appreciation event this Saturday at Central Park in Davis, CA from 4pm – 7pm. California’s 4th Congressional District congressman, Mike Thompson, will be joining the festivities.

After enjoying their meal, families are invited to join in lawn games and a variety of activities for all ages.

Elk Grove Kia and Ford Fairfield will provide electric vehicles, including the Ford F-150 Lightning, for test drives. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience an EV firsthand and have their questions answered by experts. VCE staff will also be available to discuss the EV rebate program available to current customers.

As part of the customer appreciation event, Friends of Yolo County Animals Services will be on-site hosting a mobile pet adoption. Attendees can interact with animals and will be given the opportunity to adopt them during the event.
