I don’t care about the politics of this, just that a group is collecting and distributing warm clothes to those in need, and we can drop off said warm clothes at the Crozet Mudhouse. While I don’t make a habit of posting political stuff, it’s cold outside. Warm clothes can help.
via email:
We will be collecting and sorting warm clothes, then distributing them to local charities on January 4th which is a statewide Day of Service in honor of Terry McAuliffe’s inauguration.

There’s a busy day in Crozet this weekend –
– Crozet Trails Crew events
– Crozet Christmas Parade
– The Crozet Gazette & Art Box Calendar Photo Contest judging
– Make snowflake ornaments at Blue Ridge Beads & Glass?
Thank you everyone for adding events to the calendar. Slowly but surely it’s getting populated. Two of my goals for 2014:
– Have it be mostly self-populating – if you have regular events to add to the calendar, I can give you the ability to post events yourself. Just ask me .
– I’d like to post something every Friday morning noting the weekend’s events. There’s always a lot going on in Crozet from events at vineyards and breweries to things happening in Old Trail or the Crozet Library …
On Sunday, December 1 at 4 p.m. (after the Santa parade!) the Art Box is hosting The Crozet Gazette‘s Calendar Photo Contest ice cream sundae reception with judge Sam Abell of National Geographic fame. Hope to see you there!
