Virginia Go Green Festival September 11

Sunday, July 5th, 2009Summer has arrived at Richmond’s Bed and Breakfast, the William Miller House, an inn located in Richmond Virginia’s historic Fan District. Of course, we have air conditioning to keep our guests comfortable but, just in case you need underwater adventures, the Science Museum of Virginia has giant screen films at their Ethyl IMAXDome.
First, Sharks have come to Richmond!
Presented by Jean-Michel Cousteau, Sharks is a breathtaking film experience that offers audiences an astonishing up-close encounter with the lions and tigers of the ocean. Come face-to-face with a multitude of shark species, including the great white, hammerhead and whale shark. Witness them as they really are: not wicked, man-eating creatures, but wild, fascinating and endangered animals that have been in existence a million years before dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Join the expert team of ocean explorers on this unique round-the-globe expedition documenting the life of the ultimate predator.
Second, we have a Coral Reef Adventure , where you can dive and explore alongside filmmakers Howard and Michele Hall to document the imperiled coral reefs of the South Pacific and the worldwide challenge to save them. From Australia’s Great Barrier Reef to the corals of Fiji, witness how our actions affect our environment and learn ways to save the reefs.
And, lastly, Dolphins have invaded the IMAX theater’s wide, wide screen so you can romp with inquisitive Atlantic spotted dolphins, acrobatic dusky dolphins and the familiar bottlenose dolphin of “Flipper” fame from the dazzling coral reefs of the Bahamas to the wind-swept seas of Patagonia, From rarely seen fish-herding behavior to a close-up look at complex communication activities, you’ll catch a fascinating new perspective on the lives of dolphins and their remarkable intelligence.
I always have my nose to the ground and my ears perked so that I can make sure my guests and friends have a great time when they visit me here.
