Alternative Energy & Environmental Expo on April 10

The third annual Environment Awareness and Resource Expo is coming to Limerick Township Community Park, Swamp Pike and Ziegler Road, Limerick, on Sunday, April 10.

Sponsored by Sen. John C. Rafferty Jr., R-44th, Rep. Mike Vereb, R-150th, and Limerick Township, the Expo will feature a diverse group of organizations, ranging from national, state and local environmental groups, state agencies and energy producers to auto dealers, organic farmers and others, who have made a commitment to encourage a positive environmental stewardship through action and community interaction.

From a press release issued by Rafferty's office:
Sen. Rafferty and Karen Hegedus, Limerick's director of parks and recreation, encourage both township residents and any resident of the 44th Senatorial District, to attend and learn more about how to help preserve our natural resourced and in the process save money.

"We have a diverse group of vendors, service providers, community organizations and entertainers who have expressed a willingness to participate either as an exhibitor or a sponsor of the event," Sen. Rafferty said. "Each has made a commitment to encourage a positive environmental stewardship."

"This expo is a wonderful opportunity for residents to learn more about alternative energy options and ways we can all be more environmentally friendly in our daily lives," Rep. Vereb said.

The event, which will run from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., is free to the public, and is expected to feature more than 40 vendors and attract a diverse group of people, from families to students and environmental clubs, educating guests on how individuals and communities can positively impact the environment.
