Our small town of 800 people has been host to the county fair for 100 years now. The fair is run down and has little zing left. The county, always in a budget crunch, stopped funding the fair 3 years ago. Now it is running on private donations and is begging for money. If they don't get enough soon, the fair may have to be cancelled.
Now is a teachable moment for the fair board.
They will listen to an idea to get them lots of funding and lots of additional volunteer energy. Simply focus the fair on alternate energy and sustainable living.
Many synergies will converge to make this work. (I won't eleborate on them now.)
This may be a first step towards converting the mindset of a whole community towards a more robust (and sane) local economy.
This will be our Zing Tau.
