Gloucester County Christmas Event and Food Drive, December 17th, 2010




Christmas is fast approaching and so is a big event on Crany Creek Dr. Many of you are well aware of the house with all the incredible lights, Christmas decorations and displays. In fact, it's a Gloucester County institution at this point. Well on December 17th, 2010 starting at 5:00 PM and going until about 9:00 PM there will be food and entertainment available to the public.


There is going to be top notch entertainment from around the area and also from around the nation. So we seriously recommend you mark this date on your calendar. A food collection drive event will also be held at the same time. This year's goal is 3 tons of food. So please bring food if you can to donate to the local charities of this community. This is a free event. A truck will be on site to pick up any and all donations.

We will be there on the 17th posting live feeds. These feeds will be posted on this site instead of an alternative site so stay tuned here if you can't make it out of the house. Pictures and postings will be in real time. Video will have some delay though.

Gloucester Renaissance Festival Starts Tomorrow, Saturday, July 17th, 2010


The Gloucester Renaissance Festival begins tomorrow morning at the Courthouse circle. Saturday, July 17th, 2010. This is the 4th season for the festival and the company that puts on this event, Medieval Fantasies Company, has done a fantastic job to date. For the small area they have to work in, they pull off a large presence and create a great feel of days of old.

We attended last years event not expecting much and were very delighted with what we experienced. (That is a tough feat to pull off with us too). So this is an event we highly recommend. Everyone has a chance to get out and have a great time this weekend with all the choices there are out here. The Kalmar Nyckel in Yorktown, The Alliance in Yorktown, This festival, so much to do, so little time to do it. We will see you around these events as we will be everywhere this weekend.

Kalmar Nyckle Now Docked In Yorktown, July 12th, 2010



We were down at the Hampton Blackbeard Fest this past weekend and once again got to board our favorite ship, the Kalmar Nyckle. As of yesterday, July 12th, 2010, she docked over at the Yorktown River Walk dock. If you have not seen this ship, get over to Yorktown and visit her as she is an incredible ship with an outstanding crew.

We plan on taking a number of pictures of her while she is here and she will only be here until the end of this week and leaving on Sunday. She only visits us once a year, so do not delay. We plan on getting some interviews this year. So look for them soon.

VSO To Play Gloucester County Concert May 15th, 2010


Hey everyone. The Virginia Symphony orchestra is scheduled to play here this weekend, Saturday, May 15th, 2010 up by the courthouse. The concert begins at 8:00 PM, so bring your own chairs or blankets. These folks always put on a great performance and we go see them every chance we get. This rare video is all we are allowed to use. You can not film or record their concerts in anyway. They have been kind enough to allow us to keep this and one other video up on line because we only use it to promote them. There are no other videos up anywhere on line of the VSO. This is a great county event that we never want to loose, so come out for a wonderful time and show your support. At the present time, there isn't a known rain date, but the present weather forecast calls for a chilly but rain free evening. So dress warmly. We don't want anyone getting chilled.
