Badger Realty North Conway NH Sponsors Kismet Rock Jubilee


Badger Realty was a presenting sponsor of this weekends Kismet Rock Foundation Jubilee.

The Jubilee is THE annual event for Kismet Rock Foundation! All enjoyed the festive occasion which included dinner (catered by White Mountain Cider Company), live music, dancing, a very popular silent auction, and student presentations.

Kismet Rock Foundation (KRF) offers comprehensive courses in rock climbing and mountaineering to children who, because of financial limitations, would not otherwise have access to such an education. Based in North Conway, KRF accepts emotionally stable and well-functioning youth from both urban and rural areas into its programs. KRF’s goal is to offer children an opportunity to benefit from the immense value inherent in a climbing education.

2008 Mt. Washington Valley Business 2 Business Expo at the Mt. Washington Resort


Dick Badger, owner of Badger Realty, receives the 2008 MWV Chamber of Commerce Entrepreneur of the Year award and in turn gives it to the late Steve Eastman and Jens Friends Cancer Foundation. Steve just passed last week and for those who didn't know him, he was one of the founders of the Mountain Ear Newspaper.


These photos were all from the B2B. Highlights to note:
Flatbread Pizza in North Conway is buying locally grown farm fresh produce as soon as veggies are ready :) and from what I gathered they will be working with farmers in VT for meat as well? Hope that's right. That will be great for visitors to eat true local flavor.


Thomas Palma from the NH Electric Co-op had this great display showing you how 1 Compact Flourcent light bulb is = to the energy consumption of 4 regular light bulbs! If you are interested in PV Grid Tie Solar Electricity for your house and you are in the NHEC coverage area, check out their website www.nhec.coop. On another energy note, I got an awesome tote bag from the Mount Washington Chamber Green Team for the Mount Washington Valley Climate Challenge in Conjuncion with the NH Carbon Challenge.
I can use totes at Hannaford grocery store in NConway and get $0.05 back for each bag I bring in. Their presence was to bring awareness to how we can all lower our carbon footprint on the planet. I think I'm off to a good start with my house - have a look here. I also got a great tote from Northway Bank. Northway Bank just helped me close my loan on my house - Kathy Sanderson (in photo) was great to work with. I love keeping my business local!
