With Phase One in place, the Chamber is back in the office for the first time in 8 weeks to film this episode! As if that’s not enough good news for the week, the team announces more good news: the 540 Party Bus are hosting wine and brewery tours and kindhearted locals organize a flash mob to cheer up a local lady. Tune in as Rita Allen of City Vino joins them as the business spotlight for the week. City Vino is a small-batch wine company in downtown Fredericksburg. She shares her story, her passion for wine, and even where champagne came from! Considered an essential business under COVID-19, they offer gift cards, delivery service, curbside pickup, and have made their online presence easy to navigate. 

The podcast ends with recommendations from the team: small businesses can let the chamber know what their new hours are under Phase One so they can publicize it, salons are open for appointments, and small businesses can easily install sneeze guards for added safety as they open up. As always, the Chamber is here to provide resources and support to businesses!

"Good News Fredericksburg" episodes will be available on Apple and Spotify weekly on Wednesday and Friday. Episodes are also recorded LIVE, Tuesday and Thursday on the Chamber’s Facebook page.
