Hello Fair friends,

We are wishing you a warm welcome to spring; regardless of how many inches of snow you may have recently received. As we say hello to longer days, we also welcome big news on the Fair!

To reduce paper waste, we've gone fully digital for the 2023 Pre-Fair Guide. The Pre-Fair Guide provides a sneak peek to the hundreds of educational workshops, professional training opportunities, and networking events. Learn about transportation and accommodations, special events, volunteer opportunities, and much more.

The MREA has simplified it's membership structure! Every MREA Member receives free entry to all three days of The 32nd Annual Energy Fair. Gift one to a loved one, business colleague, or yourself. Renew your membership today or purchase your membership and other tickets on Saturday, April 1st when ticket sales open for the Fair!

There is so much more to come into your inboxes surrounding the Fair and other MREA programming. Until then, may your days be sunny and your shovels stay put away.

Shine on!
