Sustainable Energy Festival March 8, 2008

The first-ever Sustainable Energy Festival, held at The Wilderness Center in Stark County on Saturday March 3rd, was a huge success with over 1,000 people attending throughout the day. Organizers, Green Energy Ohio and The Wilderness Center, were amazed by the response, especially since the event was designed for only a few hundred people.

This year GEO and TWC have teamed up again to offer the 2nd Annual Sustainable Energy Festival, 9:00 am. to 5 pm. Saturday, March 8 at Fairless Middle School in Navarre (11885 Navarre Road S.W., Navarre, OH 44662 - Stark County). Discover the benefits, challenges and costs of clean energy living through seven free presentations running throughout the day. Learn more about these technologies by taking one of five 3-hr workshops ($50 non-members, $40 for GEO/TWC members. Pre-registration Requested). Interact with dozens of exhibitors, see hands-on demonstrations and get answers to your questions.
