I drove down to Champaign Friday night during the storm to pick up my two of my sons. The worst of the storm was to come several hours later with large hail and flash floods, but that is another story. While on route 47 in Gibson City I caught the sight of a spinning cage out of the corner of my eye. I turned back to investigate and after turning into the Harvest Moon Twin Drive In I found myself standing in a light rain staring at the power source of the World's First Wind powered Theatre! Here was a Skystream 3.7, 1.8kW windmill going at full tilt, beside it spinning in a blur was a 1.2kW Windspire. This was a very impressive sight!

Visiting the the theatre website, I found that they just had a ribbon cutting on May 2nd for the installation and have some nice pictures, but they don't capture the dynamics seen in my cell phone pictures. http://www.harvestmoondrivein.com/
Next time you travel down on 47, make sure you check out this very Green wind powered Drive-in.
