SOLARBRATION! A free solar festival
Local
group invites the community to the third annual solar festival
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The Conservation District of
Southern Nevada invites the community to attend the third Annual Solarbration solar
festival which will be held Saturday, October 11, 2014 at the University of
Nevada Cooperative Extension’s Lifelong Learning Center from noon to 4 p.m. The
purpose of the festival is to blend art, technology and outreach to promote
renewable energy, inspire conservation, and support sustainable
communities.
The Solarbration festival will offer the
community the opportunity to enjoy solar-powered art, live music, food and
fun. Plus, there will be solar
demonstrations and the latest information on sustainable energy.
“We
promise to deliver a fun-filled family event that will be a one-stop location
for everything related to going solar,” said Jon Wardlaw, Commission Chairman
of the Conservation District of Southern Nevada. “We will have all the latest information
regarding energy rebates, tax credits, solar financing, and lots of hands-on
activities for all ages.”
Like last year, the event will be “bike friendly” and
promises to be even more fun and activity-packed than last year. The Lifelong
Learning Center is located at 8050 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, Nev. (I-215 and
Windmill Lane) right near the Clark County 215 trail. Bike clubs are encouraged to make a ride out
of the event.
Solar Village

Village where visitors will have a chance to meet over 35 exhibitors, with
selected presentations on solar living, electric cars and more plus have the
