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.
Help Our Neighbors in Crozet this Thanksgiving
Via NBC29:
For most, Thanksgiving is a time of enjoying plenty of food with our friends and families, but for some Thanksgiving is a reminder of just how little there is to go around. Now, Crozet Baptist Church is doing its part to give families in need a holiday to remember.
For the past 21 years, Crozet Baptist Church has taken part in the Share the Blessing Ministry, providing a full Thanksgiving meal for hundreds of families in need. Last year, Share the Blessing served more than 200 families and this year, they are looking at helping close to 325.
Volunteers are coming together all throughout western Albemarle County, but they need the community’s help to do it.
Update:
Thank you so much for contacting us about our Share the Blessing Ministry. At this time, all items on our grocery list are still in need, especially turkeys. Anything you can do to help would be much appreciated.
Our grocery list is as follows:– 50oz can green beans
– Boxed stuffing
– Boxed potatoes
– Canned cranberries
– Can or jar gravy
– Turkey (any size frozen)
– Frozen pies (any flavor)
Food can be dropped off at Crozet Baptist until 5pm today or between 9am and noon tomorrow. We will be doing our final counts and shopping tomorrow afternoon.
Thank you so much for your interest in our mission and we ask that for your prayers for so many families in need. Blessings to you and yours for a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Should we trick or trick on Saturday or Sunday in Crozet?
I was asked this question this morning while walking my daughter to Crozet Elementary – is there a day this year in Crozet that is considered “the day” for Trick or Treating?
It’s a question that is being asked around the country, in many localities.
So, I pose the question – Should we trick or trick on Saturday or Sunday in Crozet?
Further, if you don’t live in in a neighborhood that is great for trick or treating, where do you go? (and please, don’t do car-trick-or-treating! If you can’t walk from house to house … )
Missing Crozet Woman
Update: Found Crozet Woman.
Good news! Photog Lewis Tingler says Doris Schreek found in Crozet, apparently in good condition
More on the Crozet Playground – This Time with Invoices! – Part 3
The Crozet Elementary playground story continues. (Background) I asked Joe Letteri, the Director of Buliding Services for the Albemarle County Public Schools to tell us exactly how much the playground cost. He responded quickly; his email and the cost sheets are below.
Thank you, Joe, for sending this to on.
I feel a bit like I’m beating a dead (expensive) horse by continuing to post about this, but if we the people don’t step up and ask questions of “our” government, things like this will continue to happen.
This is the vendor – All Recreation, Inc. – referenced in the email and the invoices.

Fourth of July Parade in Crozet? Fireworks?
Update 10 June 2010:
“We’re not doing the parade this summer,” announced assistant chief Warren “Hubba” Wood. “We’re doing everything for the 100th anniversary celebration on Sept 18. We can’t turn around and do it again in September. We’ll make it big this fall.”
Who’s interested in holding a parade on the Fourth of July? It’s on a Sunday …
Anybody know what’s happening this year?
Crozet’s fireworks were canceled/never planned last year. It’s most likely too late to plan them this year, so I ask – has anybody planned them?
I assume there will be a parade and fireworks, but everybody knows what happens when one assumes …

Join us in the Starr Hill Brewery Tasting Room for
Sunday 7s!
Bring a non-perishable food item to the brewery for donation to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank and purchase a standard growler fill or a six-pack for just $7!
