Whew…what a crazy week last week was! So crazy it took me a week to write about it!
It started off last Sunday with the first ChicoFest held at Sierra Nevada
Sierra Nevada Pedal Bar
Brewery. The event was held to celebrate the dedication of Sierra Nevada’s AMAZING solar array. I say amazing because get this – they have a whopping 7800 solar panels on their roof. Yep. Seventy Eight HUNDRED. I know, cuz I saw them all!
ChicoFest also celebrated Chico State University’s annual Ecofest where all things sustainable were in full display. Chico has a lot going on here – Chico Bag, Klean Kanteen, Springboard Biodiesel, Alternative Energy Systems, Electric Cars, Knudsen Beverages, Lundberg Rice Farms, Greenfeet, just to name a few of the companies that are based here. The music was fabulous. If you ever get a chance to see MarchNorth Marching Band - grab it! They were a great show, both visually and musically. And the BEER!!! Well, that requires a separate paragraph all of its own.
