Spend the first weekend in October seeing Solar energy in action! Kick-off First Friday, October 1st, in Krutch Park Extension by visiting the East Tennessee Solar Fair. You can talk one-on-one with local solar industry experts and companies and pick up a booklet and map containing all of the sites on the Solar Tour the following day.

On Saturday, October 2, start the day with a free educational workshop about solar energy at Ijams Nature Center.
