Event Description
My
name is Jim Klafehn and I am a local business owner here in Ithaca. This
year I am hosting our 3rd annual "National Drive Electric Week" event
here in our wonderful city of Ithaca, NY.
What:
National Drive
Electric Week is a week long event that happens in cities all across the
United States. NDEW was started many years ago with the goal of raising
awareness of electric vehicles. It is a showcase in which current
electric vehicle owners show off their cars and offer test drives to
show the public the many benefits of going all electric. The event is open to EV owners, their guests, and the public.

held in the parking lot of Press Bay Alley located at 118 W. Green St.
Ithaca, NY 14850.
When:
Saturday, September 8th 2018 from 11 am - 3 pm
T-shirts!:
We are having a limited run of "Ithaca is
Electric" t-shirts made. Shirts have been ordered and after the
pre-orders have been filled we will have around 10 left of various
sizes. Price for Sm, Med, Large and XL are $19 each. XXL and larger
sizes can be ordered and potentially even made the same day over at
T-Shirt Express on the Commons. We only make a couple bucks on each shirt but it will help cover event costs.
Parade:
For
those of you If you who are interested in displaying your vehicle, we
are going to have a parade before the event. We will all meet in the
parking lot at Walmart at 10 am. We will depart at 10:20 and we will all
drive to West State St together. If you cannot meet us at Walmart
before 10:30, please proceed directly to the event on West State St.
The address for Walmart is 135 Fairgrounds Memorial Pkwy, Ithaca, NY 14850
Please note: Ithaca receives hundreds and sometimes thousands of visitors every
weekend so the area might be busy. Please be aware of pedestrians.
