WIND & WATER ENERGY IS LIKE NO OTHER POWER ON EARTH!
The Kregel Museum’s “Power of Wind & Water Art Show” is all about showcasing the tremendous capability of wind & waterpower, especially from a rural perspective!

The Kregel Windmill Factory Museum would like to thank all the school systems, private donors, and artists who contributed to this year's show!

Special thanks to Carol Hammond, Linda Ganzel Trundle & the Elmwood Murdock School System, Tom Orange & the Lifegate Christian Middle School, Rhonda Gress, The Brabson Library & Educational Foundation & many others who put tremendous amounts of time and talent into this year’s show!
