Best Green Small Business in Virginia

Posted by Paige Sat, 28 Jun 2008 17:14:00 GMT

This week was a whirlwind for us! Not only did we go to Richmond to be presented the "Best Green Small Business" Award by the VSBN, but it was also the first time I left the store to someone. Thank-you to my mother-in-law, and our patient customers, for covering the store to allow both Hakon and I to go to the awards presentation!
 
The Virginia Sustainable Build Network’s awards and annual meeting was very exciting. Governor Kaine welcomed the crowd and laid out his plans for focusing on the environment and alternate energy in 2009. It was interesting to hear him say that when he was campaigning in 2005, he didn’t receive any questions on the environment nor energy. A lot has changed in the two and a half years he’s been in office.

Thanks again to our customers and VSBN for all of the support. We look forward to serving the community for years to come!
