Where
would you ever find a carousel full of black and white cows
instead of colorful, galloping horses? Well here, actually,
in a miniature carousel included in our new, interactive exhibit
about solar and wind energy.
Our imaginative senior volunteer, Bill Miller, has created
a whimsical rural farm scene which demonstrates the possibilities
of alternative energy sources. The lights in the farmhouse
and the spinning carousel are powered by the sun; peeking
through a partly cloudy sky. The lights in the hay barn come
on when the wind blows the propeller on a generator. So, why
the tiny cows following each other around the carousel? It's
just Bill's way of getting your attention. Come and see for
yourself. |
