The 2007 Energy Expo, held at the Gold LEED certified Twin Lakes Elementary School, was a very successful event drawing over 700 people who visited exhibits, watched presentations and performances for adults and children, and enjoyed a keynote speech by Paul Douglas of WCCO TV. We are excited to announce that our 2008 Energy Expo is being held April 19, 2008 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Elk River City Hall campus, and will highlight our beautiful library which is Elk River's newest Energy City demonstration site. This year's event will feature two separate competitions from children from the Spectrum Charter School. Eleventh graders will present their entries in the "Energy Inventions" contest, and ninth and tenth graders will show us the short films they've produced about "Saving Energy and Resources." Exhibits on energy saving products and services, and performances for children by Tricia and the Toonies and CLIMB Theater will also be part of the fun.
