Tom Loach on Crozet’s Master Plan

Courtesy of the CRN.I haven’t listened to it yet (allegedly I’m on vacation) but am hoping that Tom addresses his reasons for dropping out of the Board of Supervisors’ race.

Excellent (local) review of Evan Almighty

In the Cave of Wonder.Taken all together, this film wasn’t just made in Crozet, one could say that the film was about it.  Best of all, it isn’t just a film about the environment, but it also shows the cost that the suburban lifestyle has on families.  Ultimately, by linking family, faith and the environment together the movie makes a compelling argument that forces us to challenge our own lifestyle.

Bake Sale for the Crozet Fireworks today

From a new comment:I know it’s short notice but there will be a bake sale in front of Great Valu this afternoon from 4:00 - 6:00 and the proceeds will go towards the fireworks.  Come out and buy some yummy treats for the weekend and help support the fireworks in Crozet!

Fireworks in Crozet - almost here!

For the past few months, the Crozet community has been very busy working to raise five thousand dollars to pay for the fireworks….  Several businesses and private individuals have stepped to the plate and given their part.A disappointing discovery has been that very few Crozetians have donated anything at all….  The Crozet Volunteer Fireman’s Summer Fest and the Fireworks are right around the corner!Downtown Crozet Association, Inc.P.O….  Twenty-five?Next year, we’ll have an online donation system to make things easier.note: I despise writing posts admonishing the public, but this is something the entire community really should get behind and support.

Vote on Tuesday

Tuesday brings the primary between Republicans Scott Sayre and Emmett Hanger.Mr.  Hanger’s auto-play website and recent flood of mailings (a card-stock flyer a day in my mailbox) notwithstanding, he faces a significant challenger in Mr. Sayre.Emmett Hanger has over $100k on hand.Scott Sayre has $31k on hand.The winner of this primary will face Crozetian Arin Sime (L) - a good Q & A is here, and David Cox (D)More information here; that candidates spend so much money on elections is shameful.  If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.
