I'm hoping to go up there for a day. Its still not laid in stone though. It'll probably be Saturday or Sunday so I don't have to take off of work.

I'll be there again, I think for the whole weekend, 21st year going, I was hoping to have my electric car put back together to show along with my electric motorcycle but I have a new water heater to install first.

Since you've been going for so long, is there anything you'd really recommend seeing while there? Any presentations?

No suggestions?

It really depends on what you are into, there is going to be an extended workshop this year on building an Other Power style wind turbine, there is the green homes area, there are 15 or so workshops going on at any one point in time, there are over 200 vender's including RedRock solar tracking chips that plug in to satilite dish motors, in the past I've had breakfast with people like Larry who is the owner of Sun Frost fridges.
There is alot going on and it's organized in such a way as many of the green building work shops are in one area, transportation is in another, workshops for people who are in renewable energy trades are in another area, remember that this event does it's best to cover everything from how to compost and how solar panels work, to how to start your own renewable energy business, how to communicate with your local government on renewable energy issues and vender's range from the people who make wind turbines on down to people who repair water pumping windmills and people who print shirts and bumper stickers, the renewable energy fair was the first place I had ever seen or heard of a heat pump water heaters.
