Crozet Arts & Crafts Festival Needs Volunteers

As you may know, we are gearing up for our last Arts & Crafts Festival of the year. This is the Crozet Park’s largest fundraiser and we are expecting a great event with large crowds.

A list of volunteer opportunities can be found at: http://crozetfestival.com/ . Please consider signing up for one or several activities.
Thank you for your participation.

So I thought I’d do a hyperlapse of Downtown Crozet. What do you think?

Music at Fardowners, Starr Hill, and Crozet Pourhouse, Pancake 5k at Chiles, Art at the Trax, the Boys and Girls Challenge, WAHS rowing flea market, and more this weekend in Crozet. (submit your own event here)
One student at Crozet Library, a branch of Jefferson-Madison (Va.) Regional Library, left a remarkable thank-you note with young adult librarian Allie Haddix about the library’s Exam Cram event for high school students: “Because of the services that you have provided, I will study hard and efficiently, get good grades, get into the best college, and change the world.”
A few things from the RealCrozetVA Facebook:
– The new gas station on 250 opened this week.
– Great Valu got an outstanding review on Yelp.
– Can you spare $5 or more to support the Boys and Girls Club? I’m riding this on Sunday and I’d appreciate any support you can offer.
– It looked like bike to school day at Crozet Elementary, but it was just a school day.

The events on the Crozet Calendar look much better with the new theme. Check out the music and other events for this Saturday, for example.
The individual event pages look much better as well.
As always, submit your own event – it takes about a minute. Really.
