Thirty-three Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) employees proudly joined 22 National Night Out events across Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas on Tuesday, Oct. 7 — building connections, promoting safety, and powering stronger neighborhoods together.

“Strong communities don’t happen by accident — they’re built through partnership, presence, and genuine care,’ said William Bradford, SWEPCO Vice President of External Affairs. “Events like National Night Out give us the chance to listen and engage with our neighbors.”

In some locations, Louie the Lightning Bug lit up the night with special appearances, sparking smiles and safety tips for kids and families alike!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared a moment, and made the night unforgettable — we’re honored to power your neighborhoods and be part of your lives.
