Home and Garden Energy Expo

This Saturday is the Annual Fall Home and Garden Expo in Winchester, VA. Where the wonderful Cardinal just happens to be located. This year we are participating because it has become the Winchester Home and Garden Energy Expo. They are finally coming around to our way of thinking. We are only about three miles away so it is nice being able to participate in a local event like this.

I had the fun job of putting together a gift basket to raffle off. Sadly I couldn't fit any of my SIP panels inside. There just wasn't any four by eight baskets to be found. *sigh* But I was able to make a green basket myself without any "filler" that would just end up in the trash. I found some great soy candles at a local store that uses only recycled packaging. I also added in some canvas totes, with my logo of course, CFLs, and a grocery list pad that is also recycled paper. I did add a little Cardinal from a local craft store for cuteness, not green but I could not help myself. The basket is a lovely decorative basket that can be used in the winner's home for storage needs.

It was fun to think of things that would help someone else to be a little greener. I am looking forward to teaching my locals about green building and energy efficiency. I hope to make people see the difference they could make for themselves and for the environment. If you are in or around the Winchester, VA area come on down and see us. I will be the one talking too much but you may have to look down to see me, I am a little short.
