Crozet's community blog
Personally, I think having polo at King Family Vineyards is a tremendous addition to Crozet. More than 200 people attend polo. 🙂
A Crozet vineyard is encouraging fans of its free Sunday polo to help keep the popular event going.
Changes to Albemarle County code now require King Family Vineyards get a special use permit if the matches attract more than 200 people.
And a comment there:
Heck, if you don’t like polo, tell them that too.
One of the highlights of the month is reading the Crozet Gazette.
Some of my personal favorite stories:
– Restoration of the Blue Ridge Tunnel Begins
– Western’s Environmental Studies Academy Starts Strong
– Private Alex Davis Comes Home
– North Downtown Gets Spruced Up
– Science to Live By: Is Energy Renewable?
– Crozet Artisans Opens in The Little Purple House
(but no letters from or to the editor … that’s usually one of my favorite parts)

The following progress was made this week:
The following items are scheduled through the end of the project:
If you can make it, this could be an important CCAC meeting.
CCAC is hosting a meeting on Thursday night, October 2, with Nate Cunningham who comes to share his knowledge of Community Development Corporations. Frank Stoner and Ann Mallek have invited him to come speak to us at 7:00 p.m. at the Field School in Crozet.
A community development corporation (CDC) is a not-for-profit organization incorporated to provide programs, offer services and engage in other activities that promote and support community development. CDCs usually serve a geographic location such as a neighborhood or a town. They often focus on serving lower-income residents or struggling neighborhoods. They can be involved in a variety of activities including economic development, education, community organizing and real estate development. These organizations are often associated with the development of affordable housing.
This review on Yelp captures Parkway Pharmacy perfectly:
First, Crozet is a beautiful and friendly village with great views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Parkway Pharmacy is located near Crozet’s center, which makes it convenient to the local hardware store, coffee shop, post office and grocery. The store is very well run, well stocked, has fine turn-around time on prescriptions and yet still has a small town feel.

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. To be successful, this event requires many volunteers and I’m hopeful, many of you will consider volunteering. Those who volunteer are given free admission to the event.

Curious – Are these posts useful to you?
Crozet weekend events – 19 September 2014 include polo, music at the various venues, farmers market, Crabfest and more. If you have something to add, it takes less than 60 seconds to do so yourself. Really.
