My cousin Val just won an Emmy Award!

She deserves EVERY bit of recognition for her show.

She’s a determined, creative and driven
person and her show “Natural Heroes” is a reflection of all the years of hard work she has put into this project.

Valerie A. Landes, a local resident of Sonoma County has always been an extremely talented person who is continually involved in positive, uplifting messages to give the world and to our community.

Her message of “people doing good in their environment” has been well received not only in Sonoma County but all over the country.

The third season is currently airing on KRCB, the PBS station for the North Bay and beyond, Mondays at 7:30pm, and across the country on about 60 PBS affiliate stations.

I’m so excited for her!

Here’s to more exciting, fun and inspirational shows she will create in the future

What Did She Wear to the Emmys?!
The last word from eco-minded KRCB-TV producer Valerie A. Landes was that she’d been nominated for an Emmy and struggled with what to wear to the awards gala in San Francisco.

Well, Valerie went — and won. Her Emmy for “Natural Heroes,” a nationally distributed series on folks who help the environment, is her and KRCB’s first.

When Valerie claimed the coveted trophy, she wasn’t dressed in some lavish new gown that she might don only once in her life.

“In the spirit of reuse and re- cycle,” she told the crowd, clutching her Emmy, “I am wearing my glamorous wedding gown.”
