There were several new and groundbreaking technologies showcased at this year’s fair but Makoto Takizawa and Akinori Ito from the Japanese company Blest Co. definitely stole the show. Their innovative Plastic to Oil machine showed participants that used plastic that is normally dumped in a landfill can find another life as fuel. Their presentation, combined with their display of the revolutionary technology definitely had the crowd enthralled.
There was quite a list of speakers lined up for the day of the fair as well. The Lt. Governor made a showing as well as several other Alaskan politicians. The technical sessions at the fair were very interesting and were presented by experts in renewable energy and sustainability from all over Alaska.
The day of the Fair was a wet one at Chena Hot Springs but because of the quality of speakers, quality of entertainment, and great service provided by the staff of the resort, everyone left with a smile on their faces.

Last Saturday the people of Chena Hot Springs participated in the annual Kinross Fort Knox Gold Mine Grande Parade in support of the Golden Days celebration in Fairbanks, Alaska and to promote the upcoming Chena Renewable Energy Fair on August 14th at Chena Hot Springs Resort.
The theme for the parade was "For Gold Times Sake." Participants were encouraged to wear early 1900s era clothing and decorate their floats in the same manner. The people of Chena didn't disappoint with owners Bernie and Connie Karl participating in very authentic turn of the century garb.
The float used in the parade was a refurbished 1925 Ford Model T, which when asked, Mr. Karl would say "Still purrs like a kitten in a creamery."
The parade was a resounding success with hundreds of local Fairbanks residents showing up to watch and participate.

Last week Chena Hot Springs Resort’s sister company Chena Fresh participated in Global Food Alaska; a conference that only takes place once every two years. It’s an event meant to bring together suppliers of Alaskan food with buyers to bring Alaska grown and produced foods to the state and the rest of the world.
The conference took place on June 8th and 9th and showcased foods, packaging techniques, ways to bring products to the market, and several other industry viable subjects. There were workshops, speakers from around the state, and delicious Alaska made foods to sample.
As a part of the event Chena Fresh raffled away four baskets of Chena Fresh produce. The winners couldn’t have been happier!
The event was a success thanks to the hard work of Robin Richardson, the member manager of GFC-Connect, her hard working team, and all of the participants of the conference. The folks at Chena Fresh can’t wait to participate in Global Food Alaska 2013!
]]>On Tuesday and Wednesday the conference got into full gear with panel presentations by various wood energy experts and Alaskan do-it-yourselfers. The main topics covered were forest resource identification and management, residential applications for biomass energy and, combined heat and power technology. The conference provided a forum for various green energy minded individuals to come together and share with each other about all their successes and hiccups along the way to making a greener future for Alaska possible.
