Event Report

This event was at the Farmers' Market. We have it there in order to expose people who may know nothing about an electric vehicle. We had three cars and drivers there. Many people walked by the exhibit and we were talking to interested people throughout the 3 hours of the event. We also had a front page article in our local paper and a letter to the editor. We could not give test drives.
The week before the mayor issued a proclamation for Drive Electric week and we had a banner displayed at our City Park on 1St Street about the event.
