An Earth Day Concert for CONE by Monte Dennis, CONE Vice President
O
n Saturday, April 21, Earthly Apparel & Accessories, a new natural clothing store in Niagara Falls, hosted a fund raising concert for CONE. This first-ofits-kind store is owned by the friendly and Earth conscious Nicole Burgers. Nicole contacted CONE with a fund raising solution; for every customer needing a bag to carry their purchases, she would encourage them to give CONE a donation. Earthly Apparel & Accessories is a part of CONE’s Escarpment Enterprise Club. Nicole’s store is a great example of how a small business can support the protection of the Niagara Escarpment. The fund raising concert featured a steady stream of local acoustic artists through out the day. This provided an atmosphere for easy & pleasant shopping. Nicole’s store features apparel made from natural fabrics of hemp, bamboo, soy & organic cotton. CONE was represented by Monte Dennis, John Bacher, Joyce Srigley, and Mary Lou Bacher. Joyce and Mary Lou provided additional help with the event by their many purchases. Although the weather outside was grey and wet, the enthusiasm inside of the store was not dampened. The event was a natural fit for CONE and will most certainly grow in the future as people discover what they missed at this year’s event.
