Event Report
We were joined by the Mayor of Frenchtown NJ, Warren Cooper, who toured the entire display and talked to the owner-drivers. More than a hundred other attendees of the Frenchtown Green Fair visited, and next year the organizers want to feature the plug-in vehicle display more prominently so we get more foot traffic (700-1000 folks were at the Fair! The drivers had a wonderful time talking to each other and to the interested public. Very grateful for the tremendous success of our inaugural National Plugin Day event and look forward to repeating next year!

A round-trip total of 642 oil-free miles were driven by plug-in owners to attend our display and I kept track of it on a whiteboard during the event! Also made personalized show cards for all the vehicles with the NPID logo showing how many oil-free miles they'd traveled to get there ... Thanks for making it all so easy! *** |
