The City of Lacey celebrates the thirteenth anniversary of its Alternative Energy Fair. What began as a chance to bring electric car competition to Lacey in 1998 has now become a fair offering the public a chance to explore options in alternative energy for their vehicles, homes and more. Spectators will still enjoy the Lacey Grand Prix electric car competition where low-power electric vehicles participate in a closed course endurance competition. Also, they will have the opportunity to learn about Alternative Fuel options at the information booths and view a variety of display vehicles that feature alterative fuel.

Last year, the event was expanded to include information and displays showcasing other, non-vehicular, energy alternatives like solar electric and hot water generation. High efficiency construction techniques and appliances will be featured. This expansion fits nicely with the goals of Lacey as a Green City. The City of Lacey uses green power (renewable) for all city facilities.
