SPOTLIGHT NEWS......The Antlers at Vail, named one of three finalists by the Vail Valley Partnership for Green Business of the Year.
On Friday we were honored to be in attendance for the Vail Valley Success Awards Banquet. The gala was held at the Ritz-Carlton in Beaver Creek and 10 Antlers employees were dressed in their best "duds" to partake in cocktails, dinner, dancing, good old fashion socializing, and hopefully to accept the award. Rob LeVine, who compiled all the information required for our 10 page finalist application, was giddy with excitement as the master of ceremonies opened the envelope and announced "and the winner is....not the Antlers at Vail".
Rob and the rest of our group were a little disappointed but as is usually the case, we were gracious, held our heads high, ordered a round of martinis and toasted the winners. (I think Rob was looking forward to putting the award next to the "business of the year award" we received in 2004, which is still on display in the lobby).
When Hazel Miller and her small orchestra started up, the dance floor was alive and I personally believe we would have won something if the producers of "Dancing With The Stars" were in attendance. This Antlers group doesn't just excel in the hospitality business. They can "cut a rug" too (see video).
It needs to be mentioned how important this nomination was to us. We at the Antlers have been green and considered it part of the way we do business long before there was an award for doing it. We would like to thank Vail Valley Partnership for their consideration, the Ritz for hosting a fabulous affair, and Hazel Miller for drawing us away from our inhibitions.
Oh, and congratulations to GREEN LIMOUSINE for being honored as the 2007 Green Business of the Year.
Hazel Miller and her small orchestra put everyone in the mood
