Surely you’ve seen the saying carved into the left log of the big timber monument? Keep Mason County Green fits with one of the original purposes of the Mason County Forest Festival, which was to crown a queen who reigned over the…

Did you know that PUD 3’s power is 99% CARBON-FREE?! That’s pretty “green”.

The Christmas Tree is decorated with nearly a mile of LED lights. That’s 6,700 LEDs! If we were using old-style lights, we could only use about 1,675 lights for the same amount of power. That’s much less “festive”. At PUD 3, we encourage all of our customers to “live green”.

Of course, green is a Christmas color (along with RED, see: Gazebo).

Kudos to our tree decorating team who did a great job in creating a very-cheery, “Merry & BRIGHT” tree this year!
