Lots going on this weekend in Crozet.
There’s certain to be music at the local venues. Anyone is free to add their own events to the Crozet Calendar here.
Crozet Avenue – 5:30am 7 July 2015
Crozet at 5:30am. I do like the flags. How can we keep them up all year?
(I do like riding the bicycle early in the morning with no traffic)
Rumors have been rampant for the past few weeks that a Chipotle is coming to Crozet.
As cool as Chipotle would be, we’re getting a Burrit-oh (one assumes they’ll be serving burritos) in the Harris Teeter shopping center.
Also, a Sushi King coming in August. Here’s hoping for good sushi.
I mis-read their page; Sushi King is opening in the Seminole Square Shopping Center in Charlottesville the weekend of 24 July.
It may be hard to see, but I took this picture when riding my bicycle back from showing a house.
It is truly awesome to see Jarmans Gap being used by so many-
– kids on bicycles.
-Parents pushing kids.
-Joggers.
– People walking back from the Crozet farmers market.
Sidewalks and bike lanes are cool.
After the two town halls, the Downtown Crozet Initiative has released their final report. It’s 59 pages long; download it, dig in, and get informed. The shorter summary is here; it’s only 23 pages long.

Blue Ridge Life reminds us that three years ago, we were in aftermath of the derecho. Fun times.
Looking at the RealCrozetVA archives from June 2012, I’m reminded that most of the RealCrozetVA conversation at that time was on Facebook and Twitter.
Thanks to Starr Hill and Duncan Robertson for the newest addition to Crozet!
CCA Needs Volunteers for the Independence Day Celebration. Learn more at their site.
We need your help for just an hour or two Sunday July 5. Below is the website to sign-up to help with the Crozet Independence Day Celebration (CIDC) next Sunday, July 5, 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.
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.
This seems to be a big event for Crozet!

One of my favorite things about life in Crozet is the entirely-volunteer-driven Crozet Independence Day Parade and Celebration. This year the celebration is on 5 July 2015.
The parade starts at 5.
Bounce houses, games, food, music at Crozet Park starts at 6.
Fireworks start at dark (around 9:30)
July 5, 2015 is a Sunday. Why Sunday?
It’s because the fireworks companies are booked at bigger venues on Saturday night and none were available, even over a year in advance. But because our show is Sunday night instead, we are getting a discount and so can afford an even bigger display!
