Heartland Tour of Solar

On Saturday, October 4th from 10am to 4pm Southern Illinois people opened up their places to showcase solar energy & energy efficient technologies, even two off-the-grid homes! The tour is mostly on the Southern Illinois wine trail through the beauty of the National Forest.

It was a very beautiful cool but sunny fall day that reminds you of why someone would live in Southern Illinois.

We had people drive from as far as 2 hours away (Springfield, St Louis area and Mt Vernon). Two TV crews (WSIL 3 and KFVS 12 both had good coverage)came out and there was a detailed article in the Southern Illinoisan that had directions to most of the places on the tour.
