The Virginia Symphony, Yorktown


The Virginia Symphony held a concert over in Yorktown on August 30th, 2008. A very well done setup and well performed concert. Here is one of the clips we did. If you ever get a chance to see the Virginia Symphony, we recommend going. It was just a great night on the hill over looking the water towards Gloucester. Our thanks to the Virginia Symphony for allowing us to make this recording available to you.

The Ocean Buffet Restaurant



The Ocean Buffet Restaurant, located at 6693 Fox Center Parkway, right by Starbucks, next to Wal Mart, is a must visit place to eat. Service is top notch and the staff is really friendly, and most important of all, the food is fantastic.

We took the family to dinner there and were just delighted over the menu, very pleased with the service and we highly recommend this place. The picture slide show only gives you a small idea of the wonderful food. The dining area is very clean and the food is not made in mass quantities so you know it is always very fresh.

A Day For Jarrett



This is a dedicated group of local citizens trying to make a difference for the children in our community with special needs. Last year they did an event called "A Day For Jarrett", in honor of Jarrett Frush. Jarrett Frush is an eight year old boy with severe cerebral palsy. The event last year had a police escorted motorcycle ride, vendors, a carnival and clowns for all the families to enjoy. The money raised was for Cerebral Palsy of Virginia located in Virginia Beach.


This year the groups desire is to build an all inclusive playground for the children in the Gloucester and surrounding communities, siting that these types of playgrounds are few and far between but are becoming a much needed asset to all communities. The playground design is for children with different abilities and they can learn, play and enjoy the interaction with others. It will be 100% wheelchair accessible.


This Year's Event

This year's event is being held on September 27th, at the Soccer Fields behind EVB and Damon & Co, Route 17, Gloucester, VA.

The event starts at 11:00 AM and will go until 7:00 PM.


There will be a "Ride with the guys II" with the guys from Rockers Originals at 8:00 AM to kick off the event and will have a police escort. To sign up to ride with this group, please go to Damon & Co.
