Chris Horton and Karen Dodds received their Golden Yak, in the dark, in front of a packed audience at Earth Hour, during the Yackandandah Folk Festival. Chris and Karen were recognised as being Solar Super Champions.
Theirs was a Festival romance – they met at Yack Folk Festival by chance and the following year they married on the Friday of the Festival in 2009. They then built a house together and went off Grid. They’ve been living happily off grid for 8 years.
What a powerful inspiration!
Thanks Denis for telling us about how well Yack has done and inspiring Healesville (VIC) tonight at our community meeting. I hope the Yarra Valley can learn from your energy successes.
