Today was the opening day for the fair. I was worried about getting there on time, but Melissa and I used the park-n-ride service which was pretty painless. I think the exhibit was well-received by most of the visitors. Some weren’t interested or simply weren’t buying it, but many people seemed genuinely intrigued by what we had to say.

Pam, our media contact, and a crew from the NBC station stopped by in the morning. They asked me for a little 30sec sound bite which they ran on the evening newscast. Check out minute 7 – hopefully the link stays active for a while… KARE 6pm Newscast 8/25/11

Brittany and I presented on the Sustainability Stage in the evening. It’s hard to gauge exactly how interested people were – I suspect many of them were content with just resting their legs for a while. But if someone has an idea as a result, then I guess it was worth it. One audience member, an architect with Vincent James, seemed rather interested and visited with us for a while after the presentation. A few others stopped by to get a closer look at our concrete samples.
