Croton Blog: By the Time We Got to Greasestock
The fifth annual GREASESTOCK celebration will be held on Sunday, May 18, 2008, at Peter Pratt’s Inn from 12:00 to 5:00 pm in Yorktown Heights, New York.
What began as a gathering of automobile enthusiasts interested in showing off their eco-friendly cars has expanded to a day long exhibition promoting alternative fuel technology through awareness and education. This year’s GREASESTOCK exhibitions will include:
- A variety of alternative fuel powered vehicles and alternative fuel technologies
- How to heat your home with vegetable oil
- How-to demonstrations of bio-diesel processing, vegetable oil filtering
- Installation into a car of a diesel hybrid conversion system
- Watch as French Fries are made, then see the same oil run a car
- Hayrides with a vegetable oil powered tractor
The lower parking area at the Inn will be used as a “Motor Pool” where owners of converted diesel cars can show their conversion systems and ask each other, “What’s in your tank?” This year’s Master of Ceremonies will be television personality and weatherman Storm Field, the owner of a converted Mercedes that runs on vegetable oil.
