Green Light Celebration
2nd Annual Green Light Celebration
The Last Green Valley is called on all residents to show their support for our beautiful National Heritage Corridor by lighting up green during the month-long Green Light Celebration, January 14 – February 12, 2012. 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 a wonderful opportunity for businesses to promote themselves under a regional marketing umbrella. TLGV is asking restaurants, accommodations, and shops to come up with creative ideas utilizing the Green Light Celebration theme including special events, accommodation packages, discounts and menu/drink specials (like a “green plate” special).

Prizes will be awarded for the “best” green light displays, (soon to be announced!) so be sure to shop locally for your green lights and stock up early before they are put away after the holidays. For more information about how you can get involved, please contact Michelle Bourgeois, Tourism Coordinator, by phone: 860-774-3300 or by email: Michelle@TLGV.org.
