This is an exciting time for us, with spring flowers blooming everywhere and the birds singing and the energy of the season buzzing around us.

Here are some of the details about the event...

Where: New Beginnings Personal Retreat at Little Bit Farm, 178 Little Bit Road, Hillsville, VA 24333
When: Saturday, May 5, 2012, 9am-9pm
Why: To support the Twin County Hospice services in the southern Virginia region, bring attention to peaceful and healthy lifestyle choices, encourage pro-active, holistic and alternative approaches to personal care, connect with local and regional community resources
New Beginnings Personal Retreat at Little Bit Farm in the location for the event. Owner Linda O'Connell and her friend, Tommy Billings of Billingsway Farm and Rustic Retreat, have both had personal experience with hospice services. They determined that an event celebrating spring, creating connections in the community and sharing healthy lifestyles could benefit the local Twin Counties Hospice volunteer program. They created the event to provide a direct financial donation from 50% of the proceeds of vendor fees, and to sponsor a silent auction with 100% of the donations benefiting the local hospice volunteers program.
There are demonstrations scheduled throughout the day focused on improving health and wellness. Vendors with local crafts, green lifestyle products and services will be attending, along with food and drink vendors. The Galax band, High Grass, will be performing 4 sets during the afternoon and evening hours. Free pony rides and mechanical bull rides will be provided by Billingsway Farm and Rustic Retreat.

Our goal is to support the important work of Twin Counties Hospice and their partners. It is our honor to bring attention and financial support to the efforts made on behalf of the people in our community. We look forward to meeting many new people at the Peace on Earth Day event.
