WELCOME!
Addison County's Green Energy Expo invites you to participate in a great day of workshops, exhibits and demonstrations. This exciting event builds on the success of 2008's Green Energy Expo as well as prior Addison County Home and Garden Shows by offering an exhibition 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 21, 2009.
