"Play it safe around electricity!" That's the primary message of Louie the Lightning Bug and he's sure been a busy bee so far this year!
Whenever Louie makes a special appearance on behalf of Black Hills Energy, kids are drawn to his big bug smile and multi-armed (or maybe they're legs?) embrace. Louie's alter-ego is Steve, Black Hills Energy's director of business development & strategic training.
“Louie the Lightning Bug creates value. He simply provides our brand a safety message, character and face to entertain and engage with all age groups at many events supported by our Black Hills Energy family,” Steve said. “Recently I have been fortunate to portray Louie at hockey games, fundraising events and other gatherings. I am honored to witness, firsthand, how Louie’s big smile brings big smiles to others. Now that’s value!”
We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Make sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
