We would like to partner with you to build a large scale model (up to 20 meters long) of a Seimens wind turbine blade out of recycled materials for display at the Green Fair in Evanston. Engineering and design help available if needed.
A tour of the Seimens wind turbine blade plant in Ft. Madison, Iowa could also be arranged.

Green Fair @ Custer's Last Stand Festival


Green Fair Added to

Custer’s Last Stand Festival in 2009


Saturday and Sunday

June 20 and 21, 2009

Evanston, Illinois


Expanding on its success as an award-winning arts and crafts festival, Custer’s Last Stand is adding a section devoted to green living, ecological technologies and fair trade products. These are timely and welcome topics with both local and global connections.

This open air festival, twice voted Best Art Fair by Northshore Magazine’s annual reader’s poll, attracts over 60,000 participants who meander through 400+ booths featuring original art and craft work, antiques plus a selection of restauranteurs. Entertainers bring the added dimensions of music, song, dance, theater and laughter.

Now festival organizers are adding more than 50 booths that will display a wide spectrum of tools, products, services and plans for living and working in rhythm with our natural environment. The “Green Fair at Custer’s Last Stand” will be featured in the Chicago metro publicity including radio and print advertising. The festival draws people from across Chicagoland. Its location in Evanston is equally attractive to people travelling the short distance from north shore suburbs as well as Chicago.
