Soak in Some Sun and Local Food

We all know that fossil fuels are in limited supply and that nding alternative sources of energy can help ease our reliance on oil. The Sun provides plants with the energy they need to grow, but did you know just how much energy can be produced using solar power? Visit the Solar Showcase zone to learn more about how to harness the same power that provides us with our warm, sunny weather. Get great tips from local vendors including Capital City Solar, Lyon Real Estate, Renewal by Andersen and Solar City. But the sun isnt the only other source of energy out there. Stop by and see Energy 2001, Inc. to nd out more about how they use methane gas produced at a local landll to produce enough electricity for nearly 4,000 homes! After youve soaked in some sun, check out some delicious lunch options in our mobile food truck area. Dine from Drewskis Hot Rod Kitchen, chow down on Chandos Tacos, or cool down with a delicious frozen treat from OMG Yogurt.

Learn about the many ways solar energy can be integrated into your household.
