Q U O T E S |
"My husband, Tom, and I loved the festival. The music was great! We enjoyed the tour of the Next Generation Home and we are inspired to research our own conversion to solar. What great field trip and educational opportunities the center offers. I am going to encourage all the teachers to plan a visit." - Kathy Graham, Teacher, Colham Ferry Elementary, Oconee County "I enjoyed bringing my teenage daughters to the festival. They really enjoyed it, especially the Next Generation Home and the carnivorous plants. We brought home four. They are better than a new pet. My youngest daughter (15) wants a house just like the Next Generation Home. Maybe in her lifetime, many of the elements you have incorporated will be the norm." - Kathy Lightner, Colubmia County Schools "My husband and I enjoyed everything - especially the nature walk to the festival area, the bands and the delicious Jamacian food! Thanks for allowing educators to enjoy the day free!!!" - Marion Simmons, Teacher, Baldwin County "The music was incredible, the food was ever so tasty and the venue was thought provoking." - Jan Kearce "Appreciated the opportunity, as a first time visitor to see the Center. My husband and I were impressed with the Next Generation Home! Loved the music and how well organized the day was! Would love to come back..." - Jeannine Collins "I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience... The tour of the Next Generation Home was the Solar highlight, and also the documentation of its construction on your web site is fascinating! My walks through the nature trails were a peaceful delight, and I appreciated the educational sessions on carnivorous plants. I'll definitely return for more visits!" - John Olive, Professor, University of Georgia "We enjoyed Solar Festival '08, it was wonderful to see that it's possible to live comfortably off the grid, as the Next Generation Home demonstrated. We appreciated the chance to see the earth tubes, solar panels, lightning rods, exchanger system, misters, wind turbine etc. up close and personal." - Sylvia Elliott "We enjoyed the festival and appreciate all the hard work it takes you and the volunteer staff to put it on. Thanks for the free admission gift to educators." - Lawrence Stueck, Teacher, Athens Academy "I enjoyed Solar Festival '08 quite a bit. I especially enjoyed the intimacy of the performances... I am happy to learn about the Nature Center. I do a lot of work with exceptional children in the public schools in Athens and will spread the word." - Roy Kennedy, Professor, University of Georgia "To put it simply, what I enjoyed most about the Solar Festival was that it was happening at all. It's good to see things happening with alternative energy in this part of the country. Thanks for caring." - Elijah Carter "My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the festival. I am a teacher and found out about the festival through a school email. It was a fantastic mix of education, information, great music, great food, and great people!" - Stan Reynolds, Teacher "We all had a great time at the festival and went back telling friends and family what we learned. My wife and I have been long interested in many of the small sustainable house concepts that we have read about over the years - it was great to see several of these principles in action at your site. Somehow making the changes we have discussed seems much less daunting after we could see them there humming along." - Ed Kelly |
