High Country Energy invites its members to an annual meeting at the Kasson Events Center on June 23, 2010. The  project's founders and board members, along with field specialists, Dan Hemmingsen and Missy Kelley helped welcome meeting attendees.

Over 70 High Country Energy members gathered to learn about the project's progress, specifically in the development's north footprint.

Mike has been a longtime farmer in Dodge County and is excited to help High Country Energy build the project further.
