Please Vote for Fair and Green

American Express and NBC are holding a contest: Shine a Light. Its aim is to highlight small businesses. And, wow! It's about time that small businesses catch a break.

Please put a "spotlight" on Fair and Green. We need at least 50 votes by Sept. 13th to stay in the picture. We'd love to have 500 or more! So pass this along to friends and family who have stopped into our store and loved it.

The grand prize is $100K: half in marketing assitance, the other half as a grant. We would be able to create a job and possibly add a service aspect to the shop (who likes Fair Trade chocolate as much as us? Chocolate counter?!). Plus, imagine the customer appreciation party we could throw!

Thank you in advance to all of you who vote for us. We want to stay in business and keep Fair Trade on the map in Truckee!
