Tickets to Evan Almighty

Courtesy of the Crozet listserv:

There will be four private screenings of Evan Almighty at the Carmike 6 Movie Theatre for Old Trail residents and the Crozet community.

Showings will be Friday evening, June 22nd 7:25 pm and 7:45 pm and Saturday June 23, 2007 at 5:10 and 7:45pm.

If you are interested in receiving free tickets, Christina will be passing tickets out at Old Trail Golf Club on Wednesday June 20 and Thursday June 21 from 2-4pm.  Quantities are limited and there will be a maximum of 4 tickets per family.

Please contact our Christina at 434-245-0100 if you have any questions.

Evan Almighty, starring Morgan Freeman and Steve Carrell, was filmed in Old Trail last year. It is being released nationally on June 22nd.

And the Old Trail Blog.

— ed. note: I saw Evan Almighty last week at the Charlottesville premiere and it’s mighty cool to see Crozet, the Foxchase subdivision (renamed “Prestige Glen”)  featured in a movie, particularly this movie that is both very good and family-friendly. Also, I understand that they may be running short on tickets already. It’s good to see Old Trail contributing to the community fabric in this manner.

Starr HIll to expand in Crozet

If you missed this story in yesterday’s DP, take a look – Starr Hill Brewery seeks to expand its Crozet offerings besides slightly cheaper six-packs at the Great Valu.

The brewery, located in a 15,000-square-foot warehouse that was once home to ConAgra Frozen Foods, is seeking a permit from the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to begin allowing tours.

If approved, beer enthusiasts will be able to watch Starr Hill’s brewing process starting in mid-summer or early fall.

“We hope to incorporate ourselves into the wine-tasting traffic that comes through here all the time,” Thompson said.

As part of its upcoming tours, the company is refurbishing a 3,000-square-foot rooftop deck and outdoor walkway where visitors can sip a beer and listen to bands perform.

They join Blue Mountain Brewery in their desire to offer tasting of quality beer.

Starr Hill does have a nifty “Starr Hill sightings” photo blog.

A summer fest – party will be held after the parade at Claudius Crozet Park with fireworks by the Crozet Community Association that evening.

I don’t know that the Crozet Community Association is the sponsor, and frankly, I don’t care. So long as the fireworks go on (and I can see from from my back porch)

Crozet Zoning Meeting Roundup

The C-Ville has a good summary of last Thursday’s meeting.

The consultants will now cook up some options for how to achieve this vision of a pedestrian-friendly, business-friendly, traffic-friendly downtown Crozet—whether by imposing a historic overlay district or outright alterations of the zoning or some other method known in the worlds of planners and land-use academics. They will present these options to Crozet on May 24.
