THE KERN ENERGY FESTIVAL WAS CREATED TO HIGHLIGHT THE MANY POSITIVE ASPECTS OF KERN COUNTY'S ENERGY INDUSTRY. STRICT REGULATIONS HANDED DOWN FROM STATE GOVERNMENT AND RISING COSTS HAVE CAUSED THE DISAPPEARANCE OF LOCAL JOBS, CREATING MORE CHALLENGES FOR THE ENERGY SECTOR. WHEN INDUSTRY LEADERS SAT DOWN TOGETHER, THEY REALIZED THAT THE KEY TO BRINGING BACK THE STRENGTH OF OUR COMMUNITY LAY IN SPREADING THE WORD ABOUT THE ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF ENERGY. INDUSTRIES LIKE PETROLEUM, SOLAR, AND WIND ALL CALL KERN COUNTY HOME, EMPLOYING THOUSANDS OF LOCAL RESIDENTS AND POWERING OUR HOMES AND CARS. THE IDEA FOR THE FESTIVAL WAS BORN FROM A DESIRE TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ON LOCAL ENERGY PRODUCTION IN A CELEBRATION WITH FOOD AND DRINKS, FUN ACTIVITIES, AND EXHIBITS FOR ALL AGES. 8000 12026 12026 CHAD HATHAWAY DIR./PRES. 1.00 0 RYAN NIELSEN TREASURER/DIR. 1.00 0 WILLIE RIVERA DIR./V.P. 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false CA Brown Armstrong 4200 TRUXTUN AVE SUITE 300 BAKERSFIELD CA 93309 6613244971 false false false false false false false false NONE NONE Grants and Similar Amounts Paid In Excess of $5,000.1 Class of Activity: Scholarship | Donee's Name: KERN COUNTY HISPANIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE | Donee's Address: 1601 H ST, SUITE 201 A BAKERSFIELD CA 93301 | Relationship of Donee: None | Cash Amount Given: $7500 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $2108 Other Expenses.1007 Conferences, Conventions, and Meetings $272 Other Expenses.1 TELEPHONE $92
