Exhibits are an integral part of any Energy Fair. Our exhibitors are people

have products on hand to look at, ask questions about, and purchase. Your
interest is the reason they are here.
Food Booths and Picnic Area will be available on the fairgrounds for meals
and treats.
Demonstrations are given at regular intervals. You will see equipment
operating, and learn by observing how it performs and what it does.


The Electric Vehicle Display Area will host a display of all electric and
alternatively-fueled vehicles brought to the fair. Anyone who brings an EV
to the Fair will get in free for the weekend. Ask us about a possible
electrathon!

        ** Keynote Speakers for SolWest 2000 **
Randy Udall is the director of the Community Office for Resource Efficiency
(CORE), a nonprofit organization established to promote water and energy
efficiency in Aspen, Colorado. Udall has a positive, can-do attitude and a
great message!
John Perlin is author of From Space to Earth, the Story of Solar
Electricity. Home Power magazine says “Perlin does an excellent job of
telling the history of solar electricity by focusing on the people and
their needs, which helped drive its development.”

How to get to John Day, Oregon:

John Day 
is a great place 
for an energy fair!
It’s a town of 2,000 people with a well-prepared tourist infrastructure and
a welcoming
attitude. The Fairgrounds is on the banks of the scenic John Day River
within a 3-block
walk of the downtown area. Access is easy via wide, uncrowded two-lane US
highways.
Route 395 from Pendleton to Burns through John Day has been called one of
the ten most
beautiful drives in the country.
