Why Do you Love Crozet? Part 1
I’m working on a story entitled “What do you love about Crozet?” and it’s coming, but I got detoured by Patricia’s thoughtful comment on the facebook post. (bolding mine)
We are at an interesting time in Crozet; my goal with this post and the next (and really, with many of the posts here) is to highlight our community, focus on it, and not lose sight of what makes Crozet such a special to live.
There was a page somewhere on here and someone said about the new building going up behind the old post office, “It’s about time for Crozet to get a classy business!” That burnt me, that’s belittling Sal’s Pizza, Crozet Hardware, IGA, Fisher Auto Parts, Crozet Barber Shop,…some of our longtime businesses.
They are part of what makes up Crozet. They are very classy people and businesses! They are part of the reason why people wanted to move here, small town community, their hospitality (how we were raised to be). How often do, not all, but many of the new comers speak to the middle to lower class people here? Not often enough! I’m very out going, know many people, old and new, in Crozet because of where I work.

Love the Flowers on Jarmans Gap
When Are the Crozet Fireworks (in 2016)?
When Are the Crozet Fireworks Being Done? is one of the more common questions asked. “How can I donate to the Crozet fireworks?” is one of the more common questions that ought to be asked.
- The Crozet Fireworks are being held on 2 July, 2016
- You can donate to the Crozet Fireworks fund here.
- And … volunteers are needed!
- Pro tip: walk or ride bikes to the parade and the fireworks – you’ll find navigation much, much easier.
From the CCA site: (click through to read the whole thing)
It all starts with the Crozet Volunteer Fire Department (CVFD) parade at 5:00 PM at Crozet Elementary School and goes down Crozet Avenue through downtown Crozet to Claudius Crozet Park. The Parade Grand Marshals are Rick and Pete Maupin and we hope that the Richmond Shriners’ ACCA Mini-Patrol cars are one of the many entries in the parade.

It takes a village to have a community celebration. Your help for just an hour or two on Saturday, July 2 will make a big difference to the success of the Crozet Independence Day Celebration. Sign-up to help with the Crozet Independence Day Celebration (CIDC) next Saturday, July 2, between 5PM to 10PM. There are a variety of tasks and time slots. Most of the time slots are only an hour – so there’s lots of ways to help and still enjoy the event.
To sign up to help and volunteer, go here.
When you sign-up it will ask for your name, email and, optionally phone number. No one else can see your email and phone. We promise we won’t share it. It’s helpful for us to have it if something happens and we need to let you know about a last minute change.
We urge church groups, civic and neighborhood associations to sign-up. Crozet Trails Crew already has volunteered to staff one spot the whole evening! Let’s see which group can have the most volunteers!
With your help, we can make this Crozet Independence Day celebration the best ever!
