Attention, one and all! Since our speaker events last year had such a great reception we are very proud to announce the first event of our three part Fall Speaker Series for 2015! The kickoff for this event is always on the Saturday evening of the Applejack Festival here in Nebraska City, which this year is September 19th at 7 pm. The speaker for this event will be F. John Hay, a UNL extension educator and biological systems engineer. For more than 10 years Mr. Hay has been working with the extension in the area of energy and fuel literacy and in 2011 created the Wired for Wind curriculum for the National 4H Council's Youth Science Day. Since then he has continued to create curricula for high schools, such as Wired for Wind: Wind Physics, that focuses on wind energy and renewable sources of power.
Mr. Hay's presentation is entitled "History of Wind Turbines: Electricity on the Prairie" and will be a study of the history of wind generated electricity as well as an overview of the current, fast-growing wind industry.
This event is free to the public with refreshments provided. We hope that you will join us for this interesting and fun evening! May your blades always catch the wind!
