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 fun begins with the Trash Rodeo Roundup, a unique event where competitors rush to collect as much trash as possible from the downtown historic district. Points will be given based on how much trash you collect, as well as the type of trash you find. You might even win an award. Best of all, this fun event will ensure that the lovely historic downtown is picture perfect.

The Trashy Ribs and Blues Festival will follow the event, and you can sample ribs and beers from a variety of local vendors. In addition, the Blues Farm Band will be entertaining the crowd throughout the event.

As for where to stay, the Holladay House Bed and Breakfast offers an ideal location, right in the center of downtown Orange on Main Street. This historic Orange, Virginia, bed and breakfast includes six guest rooms and all of the rooms include a private bath. As partners in the Virginia Green Lodging Program, one-third of the Holladay House’s power comes from renewable sources, such as wind and solar. Food items, such as fresh produce, meats and the gourmet coffees are produced either locally or close by. Cleaning products are hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly.

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.
