The First Annual Festival was well received; this year the Festival moves from Claudius Crozet Park to Misty Mountain Campground, and it should be even better than last year’s event (the alcohol problem should be fixed).

MusicToday gets some exposure
Crozet’s own MusicToday is featured as this month’s Fast Company cover story. (hat tip to the the HooK’s blog)Crozet is becoming, little by little, a destination for employees. MusicToday has nearly 200. US Joiner is another growing, now local employer.
New bar in Crozet
I made my way to the new bar in Crozet this afternoon/evening to watch the Redskins’ run end. My conclusion: exactly what Crozet needs. Multiple televisions, five beers on tap – sadly, no Starr Hill beer, but they do have PBR, huh? This ought to be remedied asap…. Obviously they are still working things out, and the smoke was too much, but nonetheless, this is a great addition to Crozet. Better yet, the Hogwaller Ramblers were playing there this evening. Unfortunately I was unable to attend, but hopefully they will return. They’ve always been one of my favorite C’Ville area bands.
Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival
The Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival is this weekend. The Crozet Arts & Crafts Festival is the premier juried arts and crafts show in Central Virginia. Twice a year, on Mothers’ Day weekend in May and on the second weekend in October, 125 of the nation’s finest artists and craftspeople gather to showcase their exhibits in pottery, textiles, leather, glass, wood, metal, photography and art, providing a tantalizing array of beautiful handmade articles for sale…. Grab a flyer from the house I am marketing in Parkside Village and don’t forget to stop by my listing in the Highlands!
