Seven Springs PA is a full-service resort surrounded by hotels and campgrounds, located about an hour southeast of Pittsburgh. The MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR has run at this venue for several years. It's a fun-filled, family-oriented
sustainable lifestyle event featuring workshops & vendors in the following categories:
- Renewable energy
- Small-scale agriculture
- Gardening
- Green building
- Organic food and drink
- Books and magazines
- Tools and seeds
- Clothing and more
Also there will be an EV display, inexplicably not featured on their website :-( Let's show 'em folks.
Hello, it costs money to attend this event -- but it is FREE if you are bringing an EV so if you are even remotely tempted (and I know you are because there are cars coming from as far away as Washington DC and Indianapolis), please please help out our indefatigable organizer Jon Belak and
sign up here. If the link breaks or for some reason you like to talk to people instead of fill out web forms, give him a call at
724-387-8210 or if email is your favorite get in touch this way: info@threeriverseva.org

Got a conflict that weekend? Never fear -- the following Saturday on the banks of the Delaware River is another opportunity to showcase your vehicle, mingle with fellow drivers, and talk to the public at the 2nd annual
Cool little fair + funky river town + Mike McGrath (of NPR's
You Bet Your Garden) on composting + Christine Waltermyer (founder of the Natural Kitchen Cooking School) on decadent rice-based desserts + Maya Rossum (of the Delaware Riverkeeper) on fracking's local effects + an alt-fuel display = AWESOME
All of the above + you = AWESOME+
All of the above + you + your alt-fuel vehicle = SO AWESOME I will award as many +'s as we have vehicles on display, so quick drop me an email right now if you are
even tempted, and I know you are. Very soon the Fair's Fearless Leaders Sarah & Holly will be asking me how much space on the field we need and it would be (you guessed it) AWESOME++ if you, personally, let me know asap if you just might bring a car/tractor/truck/scooter/motor-assisted bicycle, conversion or production, doesn't matter as long as it uses ALTERNATIVE, ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND FUEL.
This will be a fun day, and it's totally FREE so tell everyone you know about it! We at Bucks County Renewables are extremely fond of EV-ents that are within actual EV range so anyone who was SAD LIKE ME that the promised 2013 EV-ent in Macungie never materialized, come on out and make a day of it in Frenchtown NJ. I will most certainly take you out for dinner afterwards, if you plan to drink inadvisably check whether there are any rooms left at my fave, the National Hotel, or hit the www.frenchtownboro.com website for links to other local lodgings.
THE FOLLOWING AD IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE!
Pre-order a t-shirt for the 2013 East Coast Electric
Vehicle Round Up
Order your shirt for this year's East Coast Electric Vehicle
Round Up so you can dress in style at the Mother Earth News Fair ... or have it mailed to you if you can't attend. The shirt costs $20 and range in
size from Small to 4XL. Your purchase will help defray costs for our indefatigable organizer Jon Belak, so call him at 724-387-8210 to make arrangements to get the merch and support this new EV outing. You can also email shipping requests to info@threeriverseva.org.
EV clubs & individuals -- buy this shirt, wear this shirt, see if someone new asks you about EV's! If you can't come to either of these events, and I know you want to in the worst way, you should definitely lay $20 down to assuage your guilt.
