FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG AND ENVIRO-LOG ANNOUNCE HERITAGE FIRELOG FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Bring the Scent and Spirit of Colonial Williamsburg Home for the Holidays
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – November 11, 2021 – Colonial Williamsburg has partnered with Enviro-Log® to offer the HERITAGE FIRELOG for the 2021 holiday season. This special edition product offers a festive aroma with a hint of cinnamon and a dash of nostalgia, and is part of Enviro-Log’s mission to deliver the greenest and most versatile firelogs to the market. Each firelog burns for up to three hours and is designed to evoke the warmth of Colonial Williamsburg’s Grand Illumination and holiday spirit.
The HERITAGE FIRELOG is a quick and easy lighting alternative to firewood made of clean burning recycled materials. They are ideal for holiday family gatherings and can be used for indoor heating in a fireplace or woodstove, and outdoors in a firepit, chimenea or campsite.
“Our senses are often the key to our memories and we wanted to share the spirit of holidays past while also helping people create new ones,” said Kiri Franco, Director of Brand & Licensing for Colonial Williamsburg. “For Colonial Williamsburg’s Grand Illumination, which takes place each December, the historic area glows with candles and firelight, and botanical wreaths adorn all of the doors. We have captured that scent and spirit with the HERITAGE FIRELOG.”
Ross McRoy, President and Founder of Enviro-Log Company, LLC added, “We are very proud to partner with Colonial Williamsburg on the HERITAGE FIRELOG, which we believe is the perfect compliment to the warmth of Colonial Williamsburg’s Grand Illumination and the holiday season. Each firelog will provide hours of warmth and enjoyment, further enhanced by the cinnamon scent which can be enjoyed before burning. Whether you try it indoors or outdoors, we hope the experience will make your holiday celebrations even more enjoyable.”
HERITAGE FIRELOGS will be available in early November in Colonial Williamsburg stores, as well as on www.shop.colonialwilliamsburg.com/holidayheritage.
A portion of the proceeds from the special edition firelog benefit the Foundation’s core missions of education, research, and preservation to ensure that the stories and experiences of Colonial Williamsburg will not be lost to time.
