The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV) is calling on all residents to show their support for this National Heritage Corridor by lighting up green during the month-long Green Light Celebration, Jan. 14 through Feb. 12.
Town officials, local businesses and private residents are asked to change out at least one light bulb with a green-colored, energy-efficient bulb during the winter festivities.
TLGV developed the Green Light Celebration as a way to build awareness of the organization and its work, promote tourism and provide a fun reprieve from winter.
The Green Light Celebration is also an opportunity for businesses to promote themselves under a regional marketing umbrella.
TLGV is asking restaurants, accommodations, and shops to come up with creative ideas using the Green Light Celebration theme including special events, accommodation packages, discounts and menu/drink specials (like a “green plate” special).
“Participation last year was remarkable, and we look forward to even more competitions arising this year,” said Charlene Cutler, TLGV executive director.
“Many of our towns and residents went above and beyond adorning their town commons, businesses and homes with green lights.
"This year will provide greater opportunities to be creative because of the month-long celebration.”
The Last Green Valley, Inc. will be awarding prizes for the “best” green light displays and will be promoting the Green Light Celebration through its website, Facebook page and local and national media outlets, and it will create a rack card and signage to help spread the word.
Be sure to shop locally for your green lights and stock up early before they are put away after the holidays.
