Our purpose is to provide a setting for people to come together and share alternative ways of business and living that foster sustainability, energy independence, environmental conservation, and community. Join us for a fun day of learning, sharing, food, kids' activities, movies, vendors, and panel discussions from 10am to 6pm. 
Kilowatt Ours“Jeff Barrie takes viewers on a journey from the coal mines of West Virginia to the solar panel fields of Florida, as he discovers solutions to America's energy related problems.” Kiowatt Ours "Kilowatt Ours is an inspirational and enlivening film that demonstrates how easy it is to conserve energy that is produced from traditional sources as well as the many ways the average consumer can easily become part of the renewable energy revolution." The Mountain Mourning CollectionThis locally developed, powerful film is promoted by Christians for the Mountains, a group advocating for protection and restoration of the creation, primarily to end mountaintop removal. |
