Centennial Lakes Park

Want to reduce your energy costs? Anxious to try out one of those new twisty light bulbs? Have a hankering for organic snacks? Learn about self-reliance and more at the Edina Energy Fair, to be held 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 4, at Centennial Lakes Park.
The City of Edina’s Energy & Environment Commission will host the Fair at the park, 7499 France Ave. S. The first 200 people who bring in incandescent light bulbs can exchange them for free CFLs. Free reusable tote bags will be given away, while supplies last. Information will be available on how to reduce energy costs and organic refreshments will be served.
At 2 p.m., David Morris of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance will present “Minnesota’s Changing Environment: Meeting Edina’s Energy Challenge” in the Maetzold Amphitheater at Centennial Lakes. Morris’ presentation is part of the Edina Community Foundation’s Edina Dialogue series.
