Contact:  Jody Seal, Alagasco 205-326-2750

Alagasco is bringing Carter Oosterhouse, one of America’s most recognized eco friendly building and lifestyle experts, to this year’s Moss Rock Festival at The Preserve in Hoover, Ala. on Saturday, Nov. 7.

Carter, host of HGTV’s Carter Can and Red Hot & Green, is one of the most sought-after green-living experts and will share his vast knowledge of sustainability in design and living and will encourage individuals to take advantage of the more efficient, abundant resources available to our country, including natural gas. He will also be available to sign autographs in Alagasco’s booth throughout the day.

The Moss Rock Festival, now in its fourth year, celebrates nature, open spaces, eco-ideas, art and design. The Moss Rock Festival continues through Sunday, Nov. 8.  The festival hours on both days are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Admission is free.  All festival parking is off-site at Regions Park, and shuttles will be provided to the festival site.

In the years since he shot to fame as the carpenter on the wildly popular series Trading Spaces, Carter has become a go-to expert for many national outlets including: THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW, THE VIEW, THE TODAY SHOW, RACHEL RAY, EXTRA, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, USA TODAY, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, PEOPLE and HOME MAGAZINE. 

From his first appearance on Trading Spaces, audiences took notice of the 6’2” carpenter who looked more like a runway model than the guy who puts shelving in your den.  But Carter’s talent as a lifestyle expert and craftsman is as genuine as his down-to-earth personality.

Most recently, the Council for Responsible Energy has selected Carter as its spokesperson to help inform the public on the new, efficient ways of using energy resources responsibly and making everyone’s home a little more “green.” There are small things that consumers can do to save energy and be more green, like weatherizing their home or using CFL light bulbs. The cornerstone of the Council's message is that by using natural gas in your home, you will be both comfortable and responsible. Natural gas is an environmentally friendly choice you can make today. It is efficient, reliable and clean. Choosing natural gas means you can help save energy, reduce emissions and protect the environment without compromising comfort and lifestyle.

Born and raised in Traverse City, Michigan, Carter is the youngest of four children.  A natural athlete, Carter excelled in sports and graduated from Central Michigan University on a rugby scholarship.  He continues to be an avid sports enthusiast and counts basketball, kayaking, horseback riding, hockey, sailing, baseball and rugby among his favorites.
