There are a few fun events coming up I thought I should post here.
This coming weekend is the sustainable living fair in Fort Collins Colorado. It's a good sized fair, it reminds me a bit of the MREA fair in Wisconsin, not quite as big... but close! We do a fun 2 day workshop there. If anyone is close enough and has the time to either attend the fair, it's loads of fun. During our workshop we build a 10' diameter wind turbine and we donate it to the silent auction. Somebody usually gets a bargain on a wind turbine.
http://www.sustainablelivingassociation.org/thefair/Hugh Piggott is going to be back in the states for a bit to teach 3 workshops for SEI (Solar Energy International).

http://www.solarenergy.org/workshop/homebuilt-wind-generatorsI plan to be at Homebuilt Wind Generators to help and learn any way I can - it's a lot of fun, a rare treat to learn from Hugh.. and it's in a beautiful place on Guemes Island, just north of Anacortes Washington.
Lastly - Sunrise Ranch asked us to teach a workshop in the last week of this month, here in Colorado. Due to low registration (We did not make the minimum by August 30) it's been cancelled. We had 4 folks signed up I guess. So I've offered to do that workshop here for the folks who did sign up and it looks as though they are all coming. We could probably have a couple more (maybe 2) - it'd be last week of this month, Sunday through Friday. If that interests anybody, drop me a note and I can fill you in.
Busy month coming up - should be fun!
