Event Report
We attended as a display at the Upper Arlington Sustainability Fair. We had a brand new 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV, a Zero Motorcycle, and 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning attend. The weather was a little rough, with wind gusts up to 60 mph which often tossed our papers around and twice flipped over the entire table. Our volunteers were rockstars and hung out despite the cool temps and tough conditions. Most guests wanted to get inside where many tables and speakers were located but we had great company in the parking lot with foam recycling, electronics recycling drop off, and a used book collection drive. Our conversations with guests were wonderful and everyone liked that we have 3 very different EVs in the display.
