Over 700 fifth-graders from the county's nine elementary schools attended the fair to learn about today's hottest technologies to make you more energy efficient, to give a smaller carbon footprint and save you money. "We had over 700 children and over 30 vendors. The children asked some of the most intelligent questions we could ever imagine. Our kids are great. The City of Crossville is great to have them," said Mayor J. H. Graham.
