Green Mountain Power will hold its second "Community Energy Fair" on Saturday, September 10, outside of its offices in Colchester, from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

Described as "Part festival. Part science fair. All fun.," the event includes energy games for children, energy efficiency and safety information for adults, lineworker demonstrations of pole- top rescues and rides for the public in the elevated bucket of a linetruck.

"We wanted to offer the community a day of fun and a way to help folks learn about energy. All of us at Green Mountain Power are looking forward to hosting our customers and Vermont shareholders and treating them to a great day," said Chris Dutton, Green Mountain Power's president and chief executive officer.

Green Mountain Power has arranged for some more unusual exhibits, including solar-powered smoothies, a solar-powered bus, and the Steel Rail bluegrass band. In addition, members and mascots from the Vermont Voltage soccer team and the Vermont Ice Storm football team will be mingling with attendees at the event.

Customers will also have an opportunity to record their opinions about how they would like Vermont's energy future to look. And they can sign up for a voluntary program to fight global warming, an important environmental and social issue facing all Vermonters.

The Community Energy Fair is sponsored in part by Efficiency Vermont, KnowledgeWave, Seventh Generation, Casella and KeyBank.

The event will be held rain or shine at Green Mountain Power offices at 163 Acorn Lane, Colchester, Vermont, about a mile off of I-89, exit 16. For exact directions, see www.greenmountainpower.biz.
