The fair is an annual Texas favorite and the largest all-sustainable fair in the south. David Bebeau, CEO, Sunrise Solar recently said, "I've been coming to the Roundup since it started in 1999 and I have had the same booth space for 12 years now. It is one of the most enjoyable shows we do for both exhibitors and the participants."

Texans seeking green lifestyles and concerned about drought and the environment have come to the Roundup yearly to hear national leaders and local experts; to participate in workshops; and to enjoy races and other creative events. Among the informative focus panels taking place over the three-day event, the Texas Co-Op Energy panel will have representatives from Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative  and Pedernales Electric Cooperative with the panel's moderator joining us from the State Energy Conservation Office, SECO. It is a great opportunity to learn about what your energy supplier is doing currently to provide you and your community with secure energy that is clean and efficient and how their long-term energy goals encourage new industries and bring new jobs to local communities.
