On Saturday, October 17, Valley Natural Foods hosted its annual Visual Arts Achievement Awards Breakfast to recognize the talented youth in our community. Various awards were distributed, such as Best of Show, Peer Choice, People’s Choice and Merit in several  categories including Paintings, Portrait, Batik and Photography to students of Apple Valley High School. Board members, teachers, students, parents and Valley Natural Foods staff mingled over breakfast graciously prepared by the Deli department.

Dr. Roger McGaughey, retired art teacher from Apple Valley High School coordinated the event. The student’s art that is on display throughout the year at Valley Natural Foods, not only embellishes the co-op but also allows the co-op to share the beautiful art pieces with the rest of the community. Valley Natural Foods is committed to promoting and encouraging the youth in our community and this occasion provided a perfect opportunity towards this objective.
