Portsmouth WTG on National Geographic Thursday
Mon, 06/15/2009 - 5:49pm — jmcdaid
Thursday night, the Portsmouth wind turbine will be featured on the National Geographic Channel series "World's Toughest Fixes." Check out a preview on the National Geographic Web site. (And if you want to see the climax of the action they tease with in the promo, I caught video of the tagline snap here.)
The Portsmouth EDC moved a press release today, but Judy Tate sent a heads-up last week. And she got great pix.

REFERENDUM!
The Town Council voted to decimate our schools. We have two weeks to gather signatures for a financial referendum election to restore funding. Learn more at Save Our Schools.
