On April 26th and 27th the Hudson Valley Green Fair was held at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck NY.

The Dutchess County Board of Realtors had a booth at the fair and many local agents provided coverage.

It was a great opportunity for real estate agents to get familar with some of the green products that impact the industry.  I spoke to many of the vendors such as:

• Spire Architecture a firm that specializes in green design.
• Decor & You - Cyndi West Decor Designer.  Agents- you might be interested in her Realtor "thank you" program.
• Archibald Heating and air conditioning a provider of Geothermal heating and cooling.
• Boyd Artesian Well Co. Geothermal Wells

I next stopped by the local waste management company who had a gift for me.  A recycle bag and flower seeds.  The message on the packet really caught my attention. Per WM, last year they recycled enough paper to save over 41 million trees. Can you imagine that?

I also noticed many cars on display.  This one caught my eye.

I then stopped by a booth where I met Karen T. Froehner; her company  Rueste is  in the building Intelligence business.  I was fascinated even by  the brief conversation. I am sure you will be seeing more of their product in the future.  Please check out their website to see what I mean.

There was so much to see, from green cosmetics, cleaning products, mulch and several governmental agencies providing information on energy saving and the environment to name a few.

Here are a few more shots.
