Solar Energy... Any Local Stories... You Tube Videos

I'm just trying to learn more about this topic - and there are plenty of other videos up on You Tube about it (if you are interested) as well. This isn't meant to be a sales pitch. It is more of a "wow - look what is going on 'out there'"!

I'm also wondering what local folks - those who have been able to invest in solar energy of some sort - have to say about the cost and/or outcomes...

I would love, should I get the chance, to try this out via a relatively small solar (I really caught the garden 'bug') greenhouse.

Thoughts? Ideas? Feedback?

How do we best harness this - in the most effective way - here in the NorthEast?

Thank You,

Photos from yesterday's family event / Fall Festival at Forsyth Park (Thank you to everyone that made this great family event happen!) are pending...

The event was well intended - the corn maze was super-cool (smile) - and if you missed this year's event, I would highly recommend putting it on the calender (especially for families with young children) for next year! Some things (food, drinks, games) cost money... Some things were free... All of the offerings were pretty "nifty", creative and light-hearted...

[Note: The Italian Fest was so crowded (Must have been good!) that we couldn't find a place to park!]

The Halloween shop in the Town of Ulster (This is not a paid add!) is also awesome - as it is very much like a spook house (possibly too scary for some children) in and of itself... and it is also [unless you choose to shop...) free.
