Wind & Solar Tour and Candy Tasting

Who: Mass Energy, a local non-profit organization. We’ve teamed up with People’s Power & Light and the Sisters of Mount St. Mary’s Abbey, who have made a commitment to support various types of renewable energy.

What: People of all ages are invited to join this renewable energy tour! The tour will begin by the massive solar fields hosted at Mount St. Mary’s Abbey, and then move to the Sisters’ 100kW wind turbine. You’ll learn about how renewable energy is benefiting the Abbey and the community and will even be able to look inside the wind turbine tower. We’ll end the tour with a tasting of the Sisters’ handmade candy! The tour is free, open to the public, and suitable for children. Refreshments will be provided. 

Where: Mount St. Mary’s Abbey, 300 Arnold Street, Wrentham MA 02093 

When
: Saturday June 14, 2014, 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. RSVP by June 12. 

RSVP: by Thursday, June 12 for this FREE event at http://mawindandsolartour.eventbrite.com or by contacting Liz Fiske at Lizandra@massenergy.org or 401-861-6111 x203! 

Why: Mass Energy offers the only federally tax-deductible green electricity option in Massachusetts. We purchase renewable energy from the Sisters’ wind turbine on behalf of our members, pushing dirty fossil fuels off the New England power grid. We will educate the public about the benefits of green power through this tour.
