Crozet's community blog
Our own Anytime Fitness is putting a team together for the Tough Mudder in Wintergreen this October. October 22 & 23 if you’re interested.
Anytime Fitness (Crozet, Lovingston, Ruckersville) is working on getting a team together to participate on Saturday October 23rd at Wintergreen. We would love to ask the community to participate with us. The more the merrier. Anytime Fitness will have a cottage for the participants that evening to have fun after the event. Â
I’ve never really heard much about the Crozet Lions, but I’m happy to help them publicize their event.
Â
The 72nd annual Crozet Lions Club variety show features musical performances by Pete Vigour & Friends, Maia Oden, Bobby Graves, Alex 141 and Blue Country Band.  Other highlights include Ballet dance performed by Rebecca Richardson and Laura Ewell, as well as, Modern dance performed by The Kawasaki Sisters.
Â
Performances are Friday & Saturday, April 8 & 9 at 7:30 pm – the Brownsville Elementary School Auditorium.  Tickets are available at the door –  $8 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under.  All proceeds benefit charity!
Via email. Boldings are mine.
Below are several announcements about upcoming meetings.
Special thanks to Jo Higgins, who’s representing the owners of Re-Store’N Station for coming to our meeting and giving a detailed update. She highlighted two meetings within the next week on this project.
1. Tuesday, March 15, is the Planning Commission meeting at 6:00 PM in Lane Auditorium of the County Office Building on McIntire Road.
And item of local interest on the agenda is the Re-Store’N Station request for preliminary site plan approval.
2. The Architectual Review Board meeting on Monday, March 21 at 1:00 PM in Room 241 of the County Office Building also has the Re-Store’N Station on their agenda.
Cville Tomorrow has done a wonderful and useful 3D rendering of the latest plans for the Re-Store’N Station .
You absolutely have to go check these out. Jim Duncan, of RealCrozetVA, said of it: “Please, please, please, go check out their story on this. I’m not doing justice to the awesomeness that they’ve done.”

United Way-Thomas Jefferson Area is presently accepting nominations for its Student Service Awards that recognize exceptional high school students for their outstanding commitment to our community through volunteerism or service-learning. Students from each public and private high school in the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson Counties are eligible to receive the award. We know that Western Albemarle High School has plenty of community minded students who are very committed to serving their community; the United Way would like to receive several nominations from each school, and so far that has not happened.
Â
Nominations are accepted until February 25 from citizens, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, schools, religious organizations and by the students themselves. The nominees and recipients will be recognized at an awards ceremony on April 12, which will be co-sponsored by the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation to honor their Youth Service Award Committee student participants.
Â
For nomination criteria, go to www.UnitedWayTJA.org to download the forms, or call Jessica Snyder, United Way Volunteer Center Director, at 434-972-1705.
The above is from a reader. Thank you so much.
… just wish you would define just where is “RealCrozet”:) Don’t you go including Greenwood, Freetown, Brownsville, or White Hall when you try to keep us up to date of the areas activities. 🙂
From Downtown Crozet to Old Trail to 250 West, to Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton and some points west, to Freetown to Batesville Store, to Beaver Creek, to the White Hall Store, to Chiles Orchard. And anywhere else that piques my interest or touches Crozet.
From Meg West:
As a member of both the Crozet Community Association (CCA) and the Crozet Community Advisory Council (CCAC), I volunteered to put together three locations for Crozet Welcome signs. These signs will be in the Route 240 and Route 250 Entrance Corridors. Below is the design for the Welcome Sign that has been approved by the Crozet community. We are asking individuals and businesses to help raise the money. The three locations are:
Sign Rt 240: Have permission from Bob Wichser, Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority, to place a sign on the west edge of the property right after the lagoon pump station site.
Sign 250 West: Property of Joe and Ellen Waff, at Missing Acres on 250 going West. They are right next to Scott Watkins landscaping business. The Waff’s are willing to have a sign placed at that corner.
Sign 250 East: Property of F & R (Froehling & Robertson, Inc.) 6181 Rockfish Gap Turnpike, Mr Tracy Arrington has permission from his corporate office in Richmond for us to place a sign on the edge of their property and the Moose Lodge.
Sign size is 6 sq. ft. 23″ tall x 36″ wide, and on I believe, 5 foot posts. The cost per sign is $350 and $60 to install. The Loins Club has volunteered to mulch heavily under neath and around all three signs and we can do any maintenance needed in the future. Total would be about $1,230.
We are placing donation containers around Crozet locations for individuals to contribute. Or if you would be interested in making a donation, please make it out to Crozet Community Association,
P O Box 653, Crozet, VA 22932 (non-tax deductible)
If you have any questions please call me at 823-5507. Thank you, Meg West
From Over the Moon Bookstore:
We’re delighted to host local historian Phil James, author of the newly released Secrets of the Blue Ridge: Stories from Western Albemarle, as he reads from and discusses his book. A compilation of the author’s award-winning columns from the Crozet Gazette, Secrets of the Blue Ridge: Stories from Western Albemarle boasts more than 160 vintage photographs, and is a fascinating record of the people, places, and events in this beautiful section of Virginia.
Please join us for this special event!
Copies of Secrets of the Blue Ridge: Stories from Western Albemarle are available for purchase at the store and can be signed by the author.
RSVP.
Update:
Saturday January 15, 2011 from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM EST
It’s time. Dammit. The break-ins have been going on for too long.
mom of three said it best:
and just so you know…I still consider Crozet to be one of the safest, friendliest places in America. I hope we can build community through this problem.
Parkside Village, Waylands Grant, Cory Farm, Old Trail, Western Ridge, St. George Avenue, Jarman’s Gap … there seemingly are no neighborhoods in Crozet that are immune to these break-ins (really, just taking advantage of unlocked cars)
This is unacceptable.
If you are interested in collaborating/coordinating/helping put together neighborhood watches, please fill out this form or send it to your respective homeowners’ associations and neighbors.

Trailside Coffee and Angie Brement Photography again will be offering Pictures with Santa Saturday, December 4th, 10 am – 2pm at Trailside Coffee, located in the Old Trail Village Center. Like last year’s event, this charity effort will benefit the Toy Lift. Families bringing children for pictures with Santa are asked to bring a toy or make a donation ($10 suggested) to the Kids Lift Foundation (http://www.kidslift.org/). If a family chooses not to make a donation, they may also take their own pictures with Santa.
