The longest running sustainable energy fair in the country is happening again this year. It’s the 32nd Annual Crestone Energy Fair, coming up on Saturday and Sunday, August 28 & 29, near Crestone Colorado. We have more of a round table discussion about micro grids, social permaculture, wood gasification, the expansion of this year’s fair, how you can attend in person or virtually, their need for volunteers and so much more with Director Lisa Bodey, onsite producer Nick Nevares and Advisor Donovan Spitzman.
The Crestone Energy Fair continues to be a tradition in the San Luis Valley for more than thirty years, bringing innovative ideas in construction, lifestyle, and sustainability to the region. This event continues to be one of the longest running sustainability fairs in the nation, and in the past has included a weekend of educational presentations, community symposiums, hands on demonstrations, and guided home tours. Run by committed volunteers, this free event is committed to improving the lives of all attendees by empowering them to learn and experience the necessary skills to use alternative building methodologies and materials in future projects. With a past attendance exceeding 500 people, we are excited to expand the Crestone Energy Fair to a broader online audience, as we are filming and live-streaming the event, pioneered last year due to the covid shutdown.
