Central Illinois

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. |
