Thank you to all of our partners and volunteers for making the Wind Energy Center at the Minnesota State Fair a great success! Some highlights from this year:

Trying out different careers in the wind energy industry.
Climbing inside a replica turbine tower section and seeing a video of what it's like to be inside a real wind turbine.
Getting your wind energy questions answered by an expert.
Pickicking up a wind energy bookmark to take home.
Experimenting with blade design and participating in other fun activities in the Renewable Energy Kid's Corral.
Learning about home- and farm-scale wind turbines.

We had over 100 volunteers and more than 350,000 visitors during the twelve days of the fair. Stay tuned for next year's opportunities and in the meanwhile, enjoy some photos!
