Solarfest, the Center for Energy Education’s signature event, was held today at the campus on Airport Road.
Among the highlights was a check presentation by state Senator Bobby Hanig and Representative Michael Wray in the amount of $150,000 which will be used as seed money for a clean energy workforce lab.
The audience were entertained musically by the Roanoke Rapids High School Band and children from Weldon Elementary Global Academy, in which Hanig helped conduct.
