First Annual Piedmont Green Gala

Drop what you're doing and mark your calendars! On Saturday, October 4, the First Annual Piedmont Green Gala will be held at T.S. Designs, in Burlington. This will be the hands-down biggest green event ever held in the Piedmont Triad.

Featured will be solar and wind power generation, biodiesel production, alternative transportation (hybrids, biodiesel, electric cars), sustainable agriculture (organic gardens, composting), water conservation and grey water use, sustainable business practices, two workshops on renewable energy and energy efficiency tax credits, display tables, locally produced food and beverages, musical entertainment, and -- above all -- some folks who are nothing short of inspiring.

Directions to T.S. Designs (in Burlington):

Normally, there are several straightforward routes for getting to T.S. Designs from I-40. However, due to recent road construction, I am going to recommend one route only:

--Whether you are arriving from the east or from the west on I-40, use Exit 143, and take Route 62 south.
--Proceed south on Route 62 for slightly more than a mile, until you reach Troxler.
--Turn right onto Troxler and proceed for approximately 0.3 miles to Willow Spring Lane.
--Turn right onto Willow Spring Lane and you will see the driveway for T.S. Designs on your left.
--NOTE: Event volunteers will provide "parking management." Please follow their instructions.

Be seen and be green!
