September 21st,22nd, & 23rd 2012 - See announcement below about 2013
Berks County - Kempton, PA
The Annual PA Renewable Energy Festival was cancelled in 2012 due to drop in vendor participation and concerns over financial shortfall. No word yet if the 2013 festival will take place. It's sad to think this unique festival my be just a memory, especially since PA is just starting to realize how important renewable energy is to our country.
