CRESTONE — The annual Crestone Energy Fair drew hundreds of attendees who enjoyed a weekend full of presentations, panels, music, home tours, and camaraderie. The fair's theme was ‘Rooting Forward,’ a conversation exploring the evolution of governance, politics, and volunteerism in a frontier community. The goal was to explore these while working to preserve and protect the local environmental and cultural ethos. Longtime local resident Mark Jacobi (center back) asked questions during the ‘Owner Builder Q and A’ panel assembled on the afternoon of Sunday, Sept. 15, at the Crestone Energy Fair.
