MREA Fair 2008

MREA Fair 2008 Here’s a collection of pictures from my attendance at the 2008 Midwest Renewable Energy Fair. I was only able to attend a few hours so don’t have a lot to report.

The only seminar I attended was one on straw bale building by Mark Morgan from Bearpaw Design and Construction. Just wondering around and soaking up the great energy there was very renewing.
