Thanks Metro Jacksonville for coming out and taking such great pictures and all you do for spreading the word about positive events that are moving Jacksonville forward!  The U.S. Green Building Council North Florida Chapter was thrilled to put on the first annual Green Lion Festival and is excited to do it again in 2014.

Awesome pics MJ. Thanks for all of your support. Also, thanks to all the cool businesses and organizations that participated, and the great crowd who attended. We are already looking forward to holding the next Green Lion Festival in the spring! Stay tuned.

The Green Lion Festival this weekend was amazing!  Great groups, food, animal exhibits, and crafts, not to mention beer!  Thanks Metro Jacksonville for doing a wonderful job covering this event.

Had the Groundation and the Belgian Tripel. Both were very good. The cheese that Sweet Grass Dairy paired w/ the brews was awesome too. Too bad they are in Tallahassee and Thomasville, respectively, and not in Jax -- though I understand GrassLands is hopeful of distribution to Jax one day and Sweet Grass cheese is apparently already on offer at the better establishments in our town...
