Central Illinois Renewable Energy Expo

Set for April 5 & 6

4H & Extension Foundation & Three Sisters Park To Host First-Time Event

     The Peoria County 4-H & Extension Foundation and Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe are teaming up to host the first Central Illinois Renewable Energy Expo, April 5th & 6th.  These organizations share a commitment to energy efficiency, renewable energy and earth-friendly technology.
     The event, the first one to be offered in central Illinois, is designed to provide an opportunity for area residents to learn more about renewable energy products and services. “Every time you turn on your radio or TV you hear something about energy consumption.  Many, if not all of us, would like to know more about how to save money on heating, fuel, electricity and so on, so we thought the Expo would be a great opportunity,” said Gary Sutton, Expo Coordinator and a member of the Peoria County 4-H and Extension Foundation. “We are very grateful for the cooperation of Three Sisters Park and we think it will be a great experience.”
     The Expo will feature exhibitors and vendors displaying the following renewable energy categories:  Geothermal, Solar Power, Wind Energy, Bio-fuels, and Hybrid Vehicles.  In addition to vendor displays, there will be presentations each day on renewable energy topics.  The Expo will be held at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, IL on Saturday, April 5 and Sunday, April 6.  The Park is on State Route 29, eight miles north of Peoria. 
     “This is our first year for the Expo and we are very pleased with the early support and interest for this event. Our goal is to have 3,000 people attend the two day event, and hopefully make it an annual event,” said Sutton. The entire 14,000 square foot pavilion and the surrounding grounds will be utilized for vendor displays and presentations and there will be concessions available.
