Local Folk Music at Crozet’s Mudhouse this Saturday
via press release:
Local Crozetians, Ursula and Stephen Goadhouse play their original folk music at the Crozet Mudhouse on Saturday, September 17th at 8pm. This special event is a welcoming back of the musicians into the public after 7 years and a Benefit Show to help offset therapy cost for their son, Rumi.
Ursula is a local singer-songwriter whose music has been described as “great heartfelt passionate songwriting that will stir your insides” by Danny Schmidt. Stephen plays lead guitar, acoustic bass guitar, steel guitar and Strumstick. Together they weave sound and story of loss, love and hope. They will be joined by Scottsvillians, Jennifer and D Borishansky on djembe and fiddle for a few tunes, adding spice and grove to the music.
The donations given at the Mudhouse show and the sales of their album, “Love is Medicine”, go to RumiRising.org to help offset the cost for supportive therapies for their son, Rumi, who has autism, Downs syndrome and hearing impairment. This will be a special night, so come enjoy the music, Mudhouse and your community!

With water main work finished, installation of box culvert can proceed
CULPEPER — Closure of Route 691 (Jarmans Gap Road) in Crozet will begin September 12, following yesterday’s completion of underground utility work that had caused several delays.
VDOT will close Jarmans Gap Road between Route 1209 (Haden Lane) and Route 1201 (Blue Ridge Avenue) on September 12 and begin installation of a new box culvert in Powells Creek. The work is expected to take 45-60 days.
During the closure, motorists will be detoured from Jarmans Gap Road south on Route 240 (Crozet Avenue) to Route 250 (Rockfish Gap Turnpike) to Old Trail Drive and back to Jarmans Gap Road. School buses will use the same route.
More information about the project can be found on VDOT’s web site.

Looking for some WordPress Help for RealCrozetVA
If anyone out there feels like donating* some time to RealCrozetVA, I’d really appreciate some help with the back end of RealCrozetVA. Email or call me if you have the time.
I’ve been unable to upload files to embed in posts for quite some time and my workaround has been to embed pictures and files using third-party services such as Flickr and Scribd, but with the uncertainty surrounding yahoo! (and therefore flickr), I need to look to the future and fix the site.
* “Donate” because RealCrozetVA has been hosted by the wonderful folks at Blue Ridge Internetworks gratis for the past couple years.
