These festivals offer travelers an opportunity to experience authentic toe-tappin’, porch-stompin’ music right here in the Commonwealth. And fans of more modern music can attend events like Lockn’ and Bristol Rhythm and Roots to see the big names they know and love. “We have so many great music festivals in our own backyard from the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival to FloydFest to the Richmond Jazz Festival,” says Virginia Tourism President and CEO Rita McClenny. “Virginia is so rich in music history, but it also attracts mainstream artists.

New Partnership Between BGF and COHH to Design a School Center of Hope (Haiti), Inc. (COHH) announced today that it is partnering with Charlottesville-based non-profit Building Goodness Foundation (BGF) to design an elementary school in Hinche, Haiti. With BGF’s collaborative support, COHH is planning to design and construct a new school to educate up to 150 children in grades 1-9. COHH is rapidly outgrowing the alternative space it currently uses for its school. The students at COHH are from some of the most vulnerable families in Haiti and would not otherwise be able to attend school. “We have outgrown the current space for our school,” says Julie Atkinson, COHH Executive Director, “and we are working hard to raise the funds to build our new facility. With BGF’s design expertise, I know that we will have a superb facility that will serve our children for many years to come.” Guided by BGF, COHH has already begun preliminary design work for the project, with the hope of beginning construction as funds become available and completing the new school by the beginning of the 2016 school year. The project budget for the new school is $500,000 and COHH has al-

The Crozet Artisan Depot opened its doors in the historic train depot located on Three Notch’d Road in Crozet on July 1st. The Crozet Artisan Depot was founded by seven local artists with a broad range of artistic talents. Their proposal for the use of the train depot as a local gallery was approved earlier this month by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors. Later in July the Crozet Artisan Depot will be sharing its location with the new Albemarle Tourism and Adventure Center. The seven artists are led by Kathleen Mistry, a local artist living in Crozet. She views the Crozet Artisan Depot as a community place where local artists and creative people will assemble. The proposal approved by the Board of Supervisors was based on the mission that the Crozet Artisan Depot would be “a venue to showcase and promote local artisans”, “provide a platform for” artists to sell their work and establish a “connected creative community”. The Crozet Artisan Depot will be an anchor location and collaboration with the Artisan Center of Virginia and an area hub for the Artisan Trail Network of Virginia. It plans to participate in Second Saturday, a monthly series of gallery openings in Crozet. It also plans to stage special events featuring regional activities.

about the quilting process and talk about ideas of neighborhood and community. Each student then drew an image to illustrate what their own neighborhood and community meant to them on a block of fabric cloth. Throughout the month of April, the Crescent Hall Quilters hand embroidered these illustrations and then worked with the students to lay out the overall quilt design. Over the month of May, the Crescent Hall Quilters handstitched the quilt blocks together to create the final product. The final Memory Quilt was revealed in a celebration with the students on May 26. This summer, a publication will be released to document how the Crescent Hall quilters make their work. Play the City is a community effort to build relationships and understanding through art. We celebrate all the things that make our neighborhoods unique through championing the vibrancy that resides in us all, through cookouts, talent shows, exhibitions, workshops, and community projects that bring us together.

ter, the Greater Charlottesville market picked up considerable steam during the spring season as closed sales rose 9.7% in May and spiked 27.1% in June versus last year.

Further, at mid-year, despite the flat sales growth of Q1, the year-to-date sales total is now 10.3% higher than the same period last year, due to the strong performance of the second quarter.

4.9% increase over Q2-2014. Notably, within the quarter, 406 new pending sales in April 2015 marked the highest monthly tally since May 2006 and a 4.9% year-over-year increase. Though May’s tally lagged last year’s total by 4.5%, contract activity picked up again in June, climbing 7.5% and boding well for settlement activity heading into the 3rd Quarter. At quarter’s end, there were 889 total listings pending sale, 16.7 percent higher than at the same point last year. Though contracts and sales posted significant gains, the 1,578 new listings added in the 2nd Quarter were essentially flat, leaving inventory headed into the 3rd Quarter down by 11.5% compared to last year. Using the average monthly sales pace over the last twelve months, the 2,058 active listings represent 9.4 months of supply. “While the region remains a buyer’s market in the 9 month range, the absorbption of inventory from 10.8 months of supply one year ago is a welcome trend for sellers,” said CAAR President-Elect, Donna Patton. “This is the first time in eight years where supply at mid-year has dipped below 10 months.”

If you join the Nature Foundation at Wintergreen, you can take a family-oriented scenic trek with one of the naturalist volunteer leaders for their “Morning in the Mountains” hike. The 30 mile trail covers a range of terrain from rugged steep slopes to short beautiful strolls. Shamokin Spring Nature Preserve and Ravens Roost Park mountain tri-

Fluvanna County Pleasant Grove Fluvanna County is located between two major metropolitan areas – Richmond, the state capital, and Charlottesville, home of the University of Virginia. This predominantly rural county flows along the southern boundary of the James River. With the bountiful open spaces of the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy an assortment of leisure quests. For example, hunting and fishing are good in this region of Virginia, and water-related activities on rivers, streams and fresh-water lakes can be enjoyed by the entire family. Pleasant Grove, a 960-acre tract along the Rivanna River, provides many recreational and historical attractions. Furthermore, the Heritage Trail Foundation provides an array of trails that stretches from downtown Palmyra to beyond the town’s new high school. Sandy Beach Trail, one of Fluvanna’s most beloved trails, starts at the Eastern Trailhead, near the dog park on Rt. 53. It’s completely accessible by wheel chair and an easy walk for small children. The gentle downward slope of the winding trial passes through fields and woods before opening to a shallow portion of the Rivanna River. The en-

ummer gatherings are the perfect opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends. They should not be stressful on your spirit, or painful on your wallet. You should look for recipes that require little prep work, activities that are fun and entertaining, and beverages that are suitable for both children and adults. For example, you can whip up a large batch of seasonal appetizers, such as guacamole, cold soup or a yogurt-based vegetable dip. If you want to make a style statement, you could host a theme summer soiree like Christmas in July. Regardless of the theme, here are some summer ideas that are sure to be a hit at any summer gathering.

Make Ice Shot Glasses It’s all in the details, and if you want to be the talk of the town, then making these frozen shot glasses just might do the trick. Although the prep time takes only 20 minutes, expect around 2 hours before serving the first round. You’ll want to serve these immediately upon removing them from the molds because they don’t stay frozen long. These can be made non- alcoholic by using Gatorade, guava, and cranberry juices.

Delicious Sorbets Sorbets and frozen desserts are quick, easy treats for summer gatherings. Sorbets can be made in a blender and require only a few ingredients: fruit, ice and a sweetener. There are many refreshing recipes to choose from in your quest to beat the heat and cool down during the summer. How does the easy peasy blueberry, coconut banana twist, and sweet and spicy mango sounds? You can visit www.healthy-

It might sound strange dressing up fruit in an ice cream cone. But,according to bakersroyale.com, “this is not a recipe, but merely a presentation idea,” which is one good reason you might want to give this idea a try. Not only will you impress the adults with your clever creativity, you also could become a big hit with the kids as well. For instance, if you’ve had a hard time getting your kids to eat their fruit, this “balled fruit in an ice cream cone” just might be the incentive they need. You could promise them a scoop or two of their favorite ice cream after they’ve eaten the fruit.The jury is still out whether or not this idea will fly, but it’s definitely worth a try.

happylife.com for these and other desert and recipe ideas.

Water Balloon Piñatas While the adults are indulging in “spirits,” the kids need some way of keeping cool. Because every home doesn’t have a swimming pool for cooling off, why not make a water balloon piñata to keep the kids, and adults who are young at heart, entertained. All you

need is a packet of balloons, a piece of strong rope, a stick or bat, a water hose, and somewhere to string up the piñata – such as a clothesline or between two trees. Kidspot.com.au suggests that you prepare lots of water balloons so that you can continue reloading the piñata, as more balloons get popped. Finally, make sure that everyone stands clear until it’s their turn to take a swing at the piñata.

It’s just not summer without bubbles. If you want to mesmerize and engage the little ones while the adults are mingling, keeping them occupied with a bubble station can be music to your ears. In fact, even the older kids (and some adults) will spend hours making giant bubbles. There are lots of recipes for making homemade bubbles, but if you want to make giant bubbles that don’t easily pop, then visit www.chemistry.about.com to get the recipe and learn the key to blowing giant bubbles that won’t easily pop. With these cool summer entertainment hacks, you’ll never have to worry about throwing a boring summer party ever again. n Janet Thomson is a freelance writer, copywriter and military wife residing in Charlottesville.
