In 2026, we hope to highlight and support our local business women and men. The August, Spotsy/Fredericksburg Social Collective event included a special treat from Troy Skebo of the Old Copper Coffee Company, an informative talk highlighting The Fairy Godmother Project and many new faces behind local businesses!
In addition to fabulously roasted coffee, Troy operates Ten8 Solutions, is President of Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center, and has plans to run for Spotsylvania County Sheriff.
We heard from Gin Schaffer of The Fairy Godmother Project.
