Crozet Trolley’s North Pole Express - Looking for a festive outing close to home? Crozet Trolley is bringing back its North Pole Express, a fun holiday ride that starts in Downtown Crozet and winds its way to Knight’s Gambit Vineyards—transformed for the season into a cozy “North Pole” stop. Kids can sip hot chocolate, play a few holiday games, and say hello to Santa, while adults enjoy the chance to take in the vineyard views (and maybe a glass of wine) without worrying about the drive. It’s a simple, charming way to add a little magic to December, and seats tend to go quickly each year.

Wintergreen Helicopter Exercise - If you spotted helicopters flying overhead a couple of weeks ago, there was a good reason. The National Guard conducted a training exercise, and it made for quite the sight. Read more → CBS19 (Full Story).
