WELCOME!
Addison County's Green Energy Expo invites you to participate in a great day of workshops, exhibits and demonstrations. Now in its third year, this year's event will have a greater focus on local food. Look for the Farmers' Corner featuring members of the Addison County Food Collaborative. The Green Energy Expo will continue to offer exhibits and workshops where beginners and experts alike can visit with local companies with renewable energy, green building and efficiency products and services. Participants will take away many of the tools and resources needed to move toward a clean and green energy future. If you are a homeowner, business, farmer or forestland owner - make plans now to join us at Middlebury Union High School on March 13, 2010.
