T

he Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival, one of the most awaited events of the year, showcases not only artisans from all over the country and beyond its borders, but also highlights the community of Crozet and the many benefits that exist for residents in that part of Albemarle County.

The twice yearly festivals began 33 years ago as a small endeavor and have grown with the community. They serve to fund the growth and upkeep of Crozet’s Claudius Crozet Park.

Since 1958, the 22-acre park has been a centerpiece for the Crozet community. The park has beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is a recreational facility open to all. Crozet community members pride themselves in providing a beautiful setting for families to gather for various activities and sporting events. Facilities include a one-acre lake, a large outdoor community pool and features year-round swimming. The park’s new partners are the on-site YMCA and sports played in the park—soccer, baseball and T-ball, youth tennis. To facilitate other activities there is a large picnic pavilion and two playgrounds. Trail building around and connected to the park,

courtesy of the Crozet Trails Crew, is continuing and will link Claudius Crozet Park to many other areas around town.

One new aspect to the festival this year is its new director, Leslie Burns, who took the reins from former director Tracy Pugh last December.

“Tracy was a miracle worker,” said Burns.

“She ran the festival on her own for seven years.”

John Updike, a REALTOR with the Roy Wheeler Realty office in Old Trail, said the same thing.

“Tracy had a good business plan and grew it very well. It’s definitely a destination for Arts & Crafts Festival continued on pg. 19

people who move here,” he said.

“They have the festival two times a year, on Mother’s Day weekend and again in the fall when the foliage is coming out.”

Burns, who has her Master’s degree in fine arts, is a watercolorist but also works in oils. But she calls herself a sustainable designer. In fact, she’s living in the Crozet Baptist Church parsonage with her mom and the two of them have been redesigning the interior over the past few years.

“In one respect with the festival, it’s an opportunity to bring in the whole community to celebrate the area,” she said, “They love it and think it’s beautiful here.”

Her other idea is to make the festival a way to tell others just what Crozet is, from the arts and wineries to agriculture.

“With Crozet growing as it is, it’s about how we can maintain our small town feel and bridge the gap between the old-timers and the newcomers.”

That small town feel is the reason Burns said why many people move to the area.

The festival adds charm to Crozet and draws the community as a whole, said REALTOR Jim Duncan, of Nest Realty and author of the RealCrozetVa blog site, who has lived next to Claudius Crozet Park for nearly the last 10 years.

“I try to go every year,” Duncan said.

“I hear [Burns] is shaking things up a bit. She’s bringing in new acts. It all adds appeal to the community.

“People ask about what’s here and the festival always gets mentioned,” he said.

The award-winning festival focuses on the juried art show and its 101 arts and craft artists, along with entertainment for everyone in the family. Varied food selections and some of the best local wineries are enabling the Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival to become a larger attraction each year.

Entertainment is diverse and reflects the multiple musical tastes found in central Virginia … from southern gospel to cello and flute duets to rock and roll ... the raucous and the refined will be available on stage for all musical tastes.

We have multiple estate properties available in Albemarle County offering inspirational mountain views and beautiful pastoral settings. Featuring Homes of Elegance©, and other fine homes to be built on estate sized parcels by professional, quality builders.

Materials such as slate, stone, stucco, brick, copper, granite and marble characterize the high standard of quality construction. Price below INCLUDES home and estate sized homesite.

Holding true to a sustainable growth plan, what was once a sleepy little railroad town with a history of fruit growing and packing, Crozet has grown into a village of semi-rural dwellers. There is a combination of historic and working farms coexisting with modern day home developments. What started out as an Indian trail, Three Notch’d Road has evolved into a contemporary culinary, artisan and local food trail featuring great artists and blossoming wine and craft beer venues, all set within a picturesque mountain valley. The area has dedicated itself to retaining its country charm and values of the arts above all.

“In the Charlottesville central Virginia area, as far as real estate goes, people coming here are involved with the University of Virginia and with research and development,” said Burns. “The influx of people, from other areas, has their eyes open and talk about things elsewhere.”

That’s one of the reasons why people appreciate Crozet, because various kinds of cultural activities abound, even with it being a small town.

“Between Crozet and Charlottesville, we have lots of creative power,” said

“A restaurant/skybar concept will be going up in Crozet, as well as other commercial construction,” he said. “It looks like they are trying to replicate the Downtown Mall on a smaller scale and this should enhance the character and charm of Crozet.”

Crozet will soon even have its own hotel, Updike said. “A 46-room hotel is due to go in next to The Lodge at Old Trail (senior apartment living) and should complement the Old Trail Village nicely. It’ll be next door to the Lodge at Old Trail that has 110 apartments and opened in September 2012.

Old Trail is one of the most successful neighborhoods in Albemarle.”

Another new development at the Crozet Art Festival will be the first-ever guided painting lessons to get participants in touch with their inner artist and produce a piece of personal artwork and when they leave the guided art tent, participants will have a Virginia-themed painting to hang at home.

Three class sessions will be held each day of the festival and one adult admission to the festival is included with each lesson. The first session, for children 7-12 years old, is one hour and each child must be accompanied by a responsible adult who must be present for the entire class. The second two classes last

Updike. “Actors, musicians, artisans …

Where once we had to go out of town for many of the cultural arts, we can now enjoy them locally. A complete spectrum of venue sizes has allowed our area to draw local, regional and national acts.”

But it was the small town lifestyle that drew Burns here from California: to be able to breathe better, cleaner air; to expose her younger daughter to the small town lifestyle and have her attend the “fantastic” Albemarle school system.

“We couldn’t be pleased more,” Burns said.

Real estate in the area has found stability, said Duncan. “In some pockets, there’s lots of growth. From five years ago to now and to five years in the future, the area will be very different.

We’re now a truly self-sustaining community ... we have two grocery stores, three coffee shops, restaurants, and hardware stores.”

It’s a place where you can raise a family, which Duncan is doing. He’s got two daughters, one in college and the younger one attends Crozet Middle School.

“The community built itself up,” Duncan said.

Updike also likes the growth Crozet is experiencing.

NEWS & VIEWS

More Fowl Play: “Lark for The Arc V” David White, Director of Special Projects for The Arc of the Piedmont, wants you to join him in “taking the fifth,” i.e., making The Arc’s “Lark for The

Arc V” spring fundraiser, the biggest and best yet. This is how it works: the Albemarle Spring Bird Count will take place on Saturday May 11, and White is proposing that folks make a taxdeductible donation to The Arc based on each species that he identifies during that day-long activity.

White will spend the day traversing Albemarle County trying to find birds both common and not-so-common, all in the interest of adding to the county’s bird lore as well as to the coffers of The Arc of the Piedmont, a 501-c-3 charitable organization which provides advocacy, education and direct services to people with intellectual disabilities and developmental disabilities. As White states, “Each species of bird has its characteristic colors, habits and songs; so, too, do the people we support at The Arc have their own feelings, emotions, ways of expressing themselves and other unique characteristics which identifies each of them as a person and a personality.”

With a goal of 75 species identified, a $1 per species pledge would equate

to a $75 donation to The Arc; 60 species would equate to $60, and so on. Any pledge or gift amount, based on the count or not, will be appreciated and will assist The Arc in its quest to offer the people that they support “a life like yours,” and that would be something to crow about! White will circulate a listing of all species identified to each supporter, as well as a receipt for their records. He can be contacted at 434977-4002, ext. 136, or by email at dwhite@thearcofthepiedmont.org.

“Knowing that I have your support will be my antidote to the ticks, snakes, rain, hail, rabid raccoons and other

assorted obstacles that I am sure to encounter,” White said. “I hope that you can take some pleasure from my discomfort and actually enjoy making your gift knowing that I am suffering for our friends at The Arc.” All donations will support The Arc’s vision: for people with disabilities to be fully participating members of the community. Generous gifts from last year’s supporters set a record at more than $5,000! Knowing that it partially depends on the cooperation of the birds, the weather and the old standby “Lady Lark Luck,” White’s goal for this year is $6,500. “Besides the birds, the weather and a nest full of luck, we also need you, the community, to participate to have the success that our folks deserve and need,” White chirped.

Donations may be made by mail to: The Arc, 509 Park Street, Charlottesville VA 22902, or securely online via PayPal by going to The Arc’s website: www.thearcofthepiedmont. org. Please reference “Lark.”

Ten Green Spring Cleaning and Reorganizing Tips

Green Cleaners Since the EPA doesn’t require manufacturers to list every ingredient in a household cleaner, it’s hard to know exactly what you’re buying. Look for supplies that are plant-based and fragrance-free. Products that don’t test on animals are a plus, as are ones that are biodegradable and biocompatible.

You can buy green cleaners at local natural foods stores, or better yet, make your own! When combined, common household items like baking soda, lemon juice, vinegar and club soda are great for cleaning everything from carpets to toilets. Recipes for homemade cleaners are easily found online.

Don’t use Paper Towels Here’s a sobering statistic. In 2004, Americans threw away 83,000 tons of disposable towels. Save trees, cash and landfill waste by buying specially made, washable cleaning cloths. Better yet, use what you already have, such as stained towels, old sheets and pillowcases, T-shirts, etc. Cut them into small squares and toss them in your washer to clean and use again and again. Switch the Swiffer sweeper for a broom and the disposable mop for a reusable one.

Spruce Up With EcoFriendly Paint

Some houseplants—like Boston ferns, English ivy, rubber plants, Spider plants, and peace lilies—absorb toxic chemicals and thereby clean your indoor air. To do a whole house (averaging 1,800 square feet), you’ll need 15-18 medium size (6-8 inch diameter container) houseplants. As an alternative, place a few plants in the room where you spend the most time.

Household paint typically contains 300 toxic chemicals. Some of the most hazardous are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that release toxins into the air for as many as six years after application.

Yikes! Some VOCs contribute to smog and indoor air pollution, and can cause a host of short- and long-term health problems. When it’s time to paint, either inside or out, choose low-VOC paint.

They’re water-based and because they aren’t made with toxins they don’t smell.

Chances are they’re available in your favorite colors.

Add a Clothesline

Donate

A typical dryer uses about five kilowatts of electricity each hour it runs. A green alternative is to install a clothesline in

One of the joys of spring cleaning is switching out your winter wardrobe for your summer clothes. This ritual is the

Add Household Plants

perfect time to get into your closet, pull out your gently worn items and donate them to charity. Other items, like dishes, kitchen gadgets, toys, home décor can enjoy a second life, too. Drop them off at your local Goodwill or Salvation Army, or sell them on craigslist or eBay. Your house will be less cluttered, someone else won’t have to buy new, and the landfills will be that much emptier.

End Energy Leaks Most of us keep our appliances, cell phone chargers, TVs and computers plugged in all the time so they are ready and set for us to use when needed.

While they’re sitting around waiting for us, they’re in standby mode and that’s not the same thing as off. During standby mode, electronic devices leak energy. Known as “vampire energy” because they slowly suck electricity from your home—these leaks claim about four percent of electricity in the U.S., which is equal to about 100 million tons of oil.

Recycle Electronics Get rid of old electronics, from cell

phones to VCRs to ancient computers, by passing them off to retailers who have a recycling program or to a specialized electronics recycling company.

Reuse Before you throw anything in the trash, take a moment to see if it can be reused. This is where you can get creative. For instance, perhaps you have enough books to stack up and use as a side table. Do you have unsightly paintings but very re-usable frames? Go through everything you’re thinking of trashing and see if they could serve a purpose you hadn’t thought of before.

HOUSE & HOME

Your home has been closed up tight for many months and now that it’s spring, you’ve opened the windows and ooops…where did all that dust, dirt and clutter come from?

The rite of spring cleaning is here!

So how do you keep it as green as possible? These ten green spring cleaning and reorganization tips should help.

your backyard and let your clothes dry naturally. Look for a retractable clothesline, which takes up virtually no space when not in use. By linedrying your clothes outside, you cut your energy bill, get more exercise, enjoy the sunshine and extend the life of your clothes. As an added plus, your clothes will have that authentic clean breeze smell!

Rethink Organization Tools Now that you’ve decluttered your home, it’s time to reorganize. Instead of stocking up on non-biodegradable plastic bins, try cardboard boxes wrapped in pretty paper, bamboo baskets, or cloth bags made from old t-shirts. Raise your storage with ecofriendly shelving to free up floor space and make your rooms look bigger. ■ Norwex Microfiber is one of the most innovative products in the cleaning industry today.
