Connecting you to what’s happening around town

Around Town

Old Trail Clean-Up Day this Saturday - The Denise Ramey Team is excited to invite you to the upcoming Old Trail Clean-Up Day this Saturday, June 14, from 10 AM to 12 PM. “We'll be stationed at the Village Center—look for our team van. We hope to see you there!”

Volunteers will be given trash bags to fill and a thank you with a gift card at the end of the event. It’s a fun and easy way to make a difference, get some fresh air, and connect with neighbors.

"Events like this highlight the importance of community involvement. By coming together to maintain and beautify our shared spaces, we strengthen the bonds that make neighborhoods like Old Trail so special. Your participation not only helps keep our environment clean but also fosters a sense of unity and pride among residents."

The Denise Ramey Team is committed to giving back to the communities they serve and believe that active participation in local events and initiatives is key to building vibrant, connected neighborhoods.

Pickup Basketball Anyone? Will Donnelly wants to know if anyone is interested in joining him at Crozet Park on Wednesday mornings for adult (18+) pick up basketball.

“Given a choice between running laps and playing basketball for my morning workout, it’s basketball every time. I can’t be the only one," he said. “I think it’d be fun to reconnect with old friends and teammates, former players on summer break, and anyone else that enjoys playing competitively.”

Donnelly says he’s planning for the first game to start at 7:30am next Wednesday, June 18th and continue throughout the summer for any and all who are able to attend. If you are planning to come or have questions, please send him an email at [email protected].

“Looking forward to seeing and playing with anyone interested!”

Learn about Windy Knoll at the Crozet Library tonight - The Crozet Community Advisory Committee will host a presentation regarding “Windy Knoll”, a new 22-home development, at its meeting tonight June 11th at 7:00 pm at the Crozet Library. The meeting is open to the public and is a chance for citizens to ask questions and express any concerns. As shown in the image below, the new development would be sandwiched between Cory Farm and Liberty Hall on 3.1 acres.

If approved, Windy Knoll would add 22 residential homes between Cory Farm and Liberty Hall.

On The Lighter Side

Father's Day was founded by Sonora Smart Dodd in 1910 after she heard a Mother's Day sermon and wanted to honor her Civil War veteran father who raised 6 children as a single parent. However, it didn't become an official national holiday for decades.

Which president signed the legislation making Father's Day an official national holiday?
