    Looking for a laid back location to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower? Come out to the Renewable Energy Center for an evening of twilight turbine tours, snacks, kid's activities, and star gazing. It's another one of those almost full moon years, so meteor visibility will be more limited, so keep those expectations realistic. Call or email to RSVP.
