Enjoy A “Green” Getaway At A Historic Orange, Virginia, Inn
If you want to enjoy a truly “green” getaway, the Trashy Ribs and Blues Festival in Orange, Virginia, on June 26, may be just the destination you have in mind.
The day’s events begin with a Trash Rodeo Roundup. Gloves and other essential trash collection materials will be passed out and participants will scour the historic Orange downtown district in search of trash. Prizes will be given out later in the day in several categories, and all participants can enjoy the satisfaction of leaving the village’s beautiful historic downtown clean and beautiful.
The Trashy Ribs and Blues Festival will take place during the afternoon and evening. Visitors can munch on a variety of ribs from local vendors, as well as plenty of cold brews. The Blues Farm Band will be on hand to entertain the hungry trash collectors.
The historic Holladay House Bed and Breakfast is the ideal spot from which to enjoy this foray into green vacationing. Located downtown in the center of the action, this restored Orange, Virginia, bed and breakfast offers six individually decorated guest rooms, each with a private bath. The innkeepers at this Virginia inn are partners in the state’s “Green Lodging Program,” and 1/3 of the inn’s power comes from renewable energy sources. They also use only environmentally friendly products and buy most of their food items from nearby vendors.
But it’s not just about the environment as this Orange, Virginia, bed & breakfast. The innkeepers at Holladay House are committed to making their guests feel pampered and relaxed. The romantic guest rooms, several with a fireplace and whirlpool tub, includes soft, luxurious linens atop the most comfortable of beds. Thoughtful amenities, such as soft robes and hypoallergenic bath products are among the special touches you will find in your guest room. Private, in-room massages also can be arranged, for an additional fee.
After the Trashy Ribs and Blues Festival has ended, there are a myriad of reasons to stay at the Holladay House for a few extra days. The Orange, Virginia, area offers everything from wineries to antique shops to scads of historic attractions. The homes of three U.S. presidents are just minutes away, as are plenty of museums and historic homes. You can even enjoy the view of the idyllic Virginia countryside via a hot air balloon ride.
