If you would love to mix a romantic getaway with a little eco-tourism and a lot of great food and music, consider the unique opportunity of the Trashy Ribs and Blues Festival in Orange, Virginia, which is planned for June 26. Spend the morning competing with other residents and visitors to this historic Virginia village during the Trash Rodeo Roundup. You will be provided with gloves and other supplies and then you're off, to clean up the town, that is. The event is a competition and prizes will be awarded to those who collect the most garbage, as well as prizes for unique throwaway items. Best of all, Orange's historic downtown district will be sparkling clean. After you have cleaned the town (and yourself), enjoy a day of snacking on ribs and beer at the Trashy Ribs and Blues Festival. The Blues Farm Band will entertain the crowd, and local vendors will be serving up brew and ribs during 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. In addition to being green, the innkeepers are just as concerned with making sure their guests are pampered and comfortable. Amenities include beds dressed in the finest linens and rooms stocked with fluffy robes and hypoallergenic bath products. A full, gourmet breakfast is served each morning in the elegant dining room. For an added fee, in-room massages can be arranged for those who need that extra bit of relaxation. 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.
