By Peggy Bellows The azaleas at the Masters have faded, but golf is in full bloom this month as the LPGA comes to town for the Kingsmill Championship. It’s a tournament the professionals and those of us standing on the sidelines love, and it has had its share of drama. Read Kellen Holtzman’s story on some of those memorable finishes—it will give you some great talking points as you wait along the fairway. You’ll need some sustenance before or after your time on the course and we have you covered in our day of great eating: breakfast, lunch, dinner and a nightcap. While we think we’ve hit some good spots, another day would bring a different restaurant lineup; yes, we have that many restaurants worth visiting. Golf sits right in the middle of the month, but there is plenty of fun to be had before and after the tournament: • BBQ gets it’s due this month: May 6 in Yorktown at Blues, Brews and BBQ and May 7 at Bluegrass Beer and BBQ at the Muscarelle Museum. • Busch Gardens kicks off its annual Food and Wine Festival on May 26. Thirteen kiosks will present food and drinks from different regions on weekends from May 26 through July 2. Lest you think all activity revolves around eating, check out the concert by the Williamsburg Women’s Chorus, the Williamsburg Symphony Orchestra’s finale performance of the season, or the Virginia Arts Festival’s Coffee concert at Williamsburg Winery. Whatever you do, enjoy!

Busch Gardens tells guests “grab a drink, some food and go!” By Troy Jefferson At the Busch Gardens Food and Wine festival, culture and cuisine intersect to create fun at the amusement park. This year’s festival will feature 13 kiosks, each representing dishes from a different country, state or region. Some of the regions and states include the Caribbean, India and Hawaii. “Each location has three entrees to accompany the differ10
WILLIAMSBURG MAGAZINE / MAY 2017
ent beer and wines we have,” said Busch Gardens Culinary VP Franz Kitenko. Kitenko said the Caribbean kiosk will feature jerk chicken, shrimp fritters and mojo shrimp. The India kiosk will feature tandoori chicken. For the Hawaii kiosk, guests can munch on spam sliders and pineapple barbecue chicken. Kitenko said people drink responsibly and it’s not an event where people get drunk. “It’s not a festival where
people are there to solely drink,” Kitenko said. This is the festival’s fifth year and it has been well received by guests. “It’s been a homerun for us, it’s a fun event,” Kitenko said. The festival takes place every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from May 26 - July 2 during normal park hours. Tickets to the festival also serve as tickets for the amusement park.

A kickin’ good time By Troy Jefferson The Williamsburg Invitational Soccer Tournament is back and ready for another year. “It’s a Memorial Day soccer tournament,” said Chris Scrofani, General Manager at Williamsburg Indoor Sports Complex. “This is our third year and we are looking to draw teams from all over.” Scrofani said there will be teams from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey and North Carolina in attendance. “We’re expecting a great year of competition,” Scrofani said. The tournament has received more and more attention each year. This year, Scrofani, who came up with the idea for the tournament, expects it to be bigger and better. “I’ve been involved with soccer a long time. I played at William and Mary and professionally for a few years,” Scrofani said. “I’d been involved in indoor tournaments here at WISC. I thought it was opportunity here at WISC to showcase our club. WISC is a fantastic sports complex,” Scrofani said. Scrofani said the event started off with 50 teams but he expects there to be 100 teams at this year’s tournament. There are team categories ranging across all ages and the first- and second-place winners will receive medals. The first place team will receive a trophy. The tournament will take place on May 27 and May 28. For more information, visit https://www.williamsburginvitational.com/

Yorktown’s summer of music by the water By Amanda Williams A monthly concert series at Yorktown’s Watermen’s Museum kicks off May 5 with the Williamsburg group The Boys From That Band. The concert is first in the five-show series that makes up the museum’s 2017 Yorktown Music Jamboree. This is the fourth year the museum will hold the concert series. “It takes place at the museum overlooking the water; it’s a gorgeous venue,” director of education Michael Steen said. “A big family party, that’s the idea” The concerts generally fall on the first Friday of each month, the
only exception being July due to the Independence Day holiday. At 6 p.m. on May 5, the museum’s in-house band Shanty Grass will open the show. Shanty Grass, which also opens all but the June 2 concert, performs sea shanties, bluegrass and folk tunes, according to the Watermen’s museum website. Both museum staff and volunteers make up the band. Tickets are $5 at the gate for each show. Food trucks provide meal options and the museum will showcase local beers among their drink options, Steen said. With all of their concerts, Steen says they try to promote local acts. The June 2 concert will feature headliner Poisoned Dwarf,
another Celtic and folk band out of Williamsburg. Their opener is Fiddlers Green, another Irish music band. The show June 16 is a special addition to the series, Steen said. International maritime musician Tom Lewis is making his way down the East Coast this summer, with a mid-June stop at the museum. The Canadian musician will be joined by Norfolk performer Bob Zentz. The museum sources local talent again, booking Virginia Beach’s Brackish Water Jamboree July 14. The upbeat jazz group from Norfolk, Billy Joe trio, closes the series Aug. 4.

Dramatic finishes add to the fun at Kingsmill Championship By Kellen Holtzman The name of the event has changed a few times, but since the inaugural ball was teed off in 2003, Kingsmill Resort has hosted one of the most revered LPGA Tour stops. Each year, the pros hail Pete Dye’s River Course and the cordial volunteers that dot its 6,347 yards of play. The admiration is always reciprocated from the marshals, scoreboard operators and standard bearers alike. They come to see golf at the highest level and don’t often leave disappointed. Eight of the 12 competitions have been decided by either two strokes or less, or in a playoff. From May 15-21, the Kingsmill Championship will reconvene, seeking to fashion new memories to add to a vibrant collection that includes 10 different champions representing six separate nations. 16
WILLIAMSBURG MAGAZINE / MAY 2017
Here’s a look at Kingsmill’s top LPGA moments:
The 24-year-old Park rebounded from a pair of bogeys
New era commences Prior to the first LPGA event at Kingsmill in 2003, the LPGA had not made a stop in Hampton Roads since 1992, and Kingsmill was more accustomed to the PGA tournaments it hosted from 19812002. Descriptions from players in the initial tourney in ’03 included “first-rate” and “classy” and Tour veteran Wendy Ward compared it to a major championship. The competition lived up to the ambiance as South Korea’s Grace Park won by a single stroke at 9-under par, edging out an esteemed group of second-place finishers: Cristie Kerr, Lorena Ochoa and Karrie Webb. top: Annika Sorenstam celebrates after winning the 2008 LPGA Michelob Ultra Open. Photo by Rob Ostermaier

and a double bogey to post a finalround 71 for her fourth victory. In the post-tourney news conference, Park said, “This is like heaven.”
Pettersen’s playoff The first of 15 LPGA Tour wins for Norway’s Suzann Pettersen, then 26, also marked the first of three Tour playoffs at Kingsmill. Pettersen closed her final round in 2007 with seven consecutive pars to post a final-round 68 on a blustery day and a 10-under 274 total, forcing a sudden-death playoff with Jee Young Lee of South Korea. Pettersen and Lee squared off on the 18th hole three times before Lee missed a 2-footer for par to set Pettersen up for victory. Making it sweeter, Pettersen had failed to hold leads and had to settle for second twice before that year.
Kerr wins it for dad This time, Pettersen came out on the wrong side of a playoff, losing to Kingsmill favorite Cristie Kerr of Miami in 2013. Kerr, who has frequently lauded the event and lodges with Williamsburg friends for the tourney’s duration, wrapped up her third Kingsmill title by holding off Pettersen in a two-hole playoff. Kerr’s father, Michael, had never seen his daughter win an LPGA tourney, but he was there on the 18th green to greet her for a victory celebration. Kerr trailed for the first time that Sunday afternoon late in her final round, but birdied the par-4 16th to force the playoff. “I wasn't going to lose,” Kerr said, “not today, not with my dad here.”
Out on top The final LPGA Tour victory for Annika Sorenstam, the greatest golfer in the modern era of women’s golf, came at Kingsmill in 2008. Sorenstam announced her retirement just two days after shooting a record 19-under at Kingsmill for a seven-stroke win, her 72nd Tour victory. The Swede retired at 37 following eight Player of the Year awards, 10 major championships and averaging nearly six victories a season.
Unforgettable finish After a two-year absence, the LPGA returned to Kingsmill in September 2012 and staged an epic nine-hole playoff between South Korea’s Jiyai Shin and American Paula Creamer. The second-longest suddendeath playoff in Tour history concluded on a Monday morning after darkness had suspended play the previous evening. Shin and Creamer entered the playoff bout tied at 16-under-par 268, two clear of the field. Shin claimed victory with the aid of a three-putt bogey from Creamer on the par-4 16th. The playoff pair made par on the 18th eight times the previous day before tournament officials switched playoff holes.

DoG Street Pub Running Club

Local restaurants put fun into weekly runs By Amanda Williams Need an easy way to stick to your spring training plans? Why not throw in a free 5k once or twice a week — with a beer and food bonus afterward. Two historic area restaurants, the DoG Street Pub and Water Street Grille, host weekly 5K races through Colonial Williamsburg and the historic district of Yorktown. Billed as family friendly, including four-legged members, the DoG Street Pub Running Club has been navigating Colonial Williamsburg for more than three years. “It’s a family friendly 5k,” said pub manager Amy Worthel. “We say you can walk, you can crawl, it’s up to you. People bring their dogs. It’s really become very
18
WILLIAMSBURG MAGAZINE / MAY 2017
intimate, a lot of the runners really know each other, they’ve become friends.” After the run, which starts at 6 p.m. each Monday, participants can head inside to buy a pint and special sandwiches offered to runners. After five Monday runs, participants get a free t-shirt. Up the road in Yorktown, the Water Street Grille running club hosts a 3.1 mile run each Wednesday at 6 p.m. Afterward the grille offers deals on a buffet-style dinner for runners and beers from O’Connor Brewing. Both runs start at 6 p.m. Meet at Williamsburg’s DoG Street Pub, at 401 W. Duke of Gloucester St, on Mondays. On Wednesdays head to the Water Street Grille, at 323 Water Street, Yorktown.
Does a bike ride along the James River with friends sound like an appealing way to spend your Saturday morning? If so, come on out to Colonial Parkway in early May. For more than two decades, the National Park Service has closed Colonial Parkway each year so those who’d like to travel by foot or wheel can do so. The event, dubbed Pedal the Parkway, is an eight-mile bike ride stretching from Williamsburg to Jamestown. The event happens rain or shine, and those who would like to walk or run in lieu of hiking are welcome to do so. No cars will be on the street, so the morning ride is good for those with small children. Bike clubs from around the area will provide refreshments. Come out for a relaxing day among one of the most historic areas in the country. It’s a great change for those who would otherwise be laying around on a lazy Saturday morning.

For a day of great dining, local spots have you covered By Brandy Centolanza Whether you’re in town to watch golf or are just looking for something new, there is no shortage of great restaurants in Williamsburg, making it quite possible to eat and drink your way through town morning until midnight. Here are some suggested stops on your daylong quest for food and fun.
Breakfast: Five Forks Café Start off the day with a hearty breakfast at Five Forks Café. Grab a booth or sit at the counter for the full-on diner experience and
chat with the cooks while they prep your meal right in front of you. Sure, you can order traditional breakfast fare like eggs, bacon, and toast, but Five Forks Café also has more interesting options: three-egg omelets (including the Big Chili Omelet stuffed with onions, peppers, cheddar, and hash browns, then covered with the house chili and more cheddar), biscuits and gravy, and scrapple -- scraps of pork stewed with cornmeal, shaped into loaves then slices and fried -- as well as corn cakes with honey butter and a variety of pancakes. “Our blueberry pancakes are to die for,” said Leon Salzman, Five Forks Café owner. “The bread pudding French Toast is
also out of this world.” Salzman plays a hand in creating different breakfast specials every Saturday and Sunday, like the shrimp and grits, strawberry French Toast, Eggs Benedict Florentine, Pineapple Upside Down pancakes, fresh cinnamon rolls, and orange, mango, and peach mimosas. “I like to give my own personal touch on the specials,” Salzman said. “I really enjoy it.” Five Forks Café is a small casual diner where families are welcome to stay as long as they like and locals gather weekly for meetings or to grab a bite to eat before the start of the work day. “We have regulars who line up before we open and wait to come in on the weekends,” Salzman said. “We serve breakfast until 3 p.m., so people will come in at 2:30 p.m. and order pancakes. People like that. Our wait staff knows our customers by name. People like us because of the friendly atmosphere, the customer service, and the tasty food.”

Lunch: Charly’s Airport Restaurant After a morning of sightseeing, shopping or golf, it’s time to head over to the Williamsburg Jamestown Airport for lunch overlooking the runway. Sit outside on the patio and watch small private aircraft fly by. “You aren’t going to get a lunch in this type of setting anywhere else in town,” pointed out proprietor Dan Hausman. “There is nothing else like it.” Families with little ones especially love to stop in for a bite and check out the airplanes; the restaurant also has a small playground on site. “We are very casual, and our customers are mainly walk ins,” Hausman said. On the menu at Charly’s: soups, salads, and sandwiches. “We bake our bread fresh daily here, so any sandwich you order will come on fresh bread, and that is a big draw,” said Hausman. “Our seafood bisque and chili are also big hits.” Other popular dishes are the homemade tuna and chicken salads, the Reuben and the French Dip. “You also can’t go wrong with a straight up BLT,” Hausman said. Charly’s also has daily lunch specials including shrimp po’ boys on Thursdays and crab cake sandwiches on Fridays as well as homemade pies for dessert. Hausman, who bought Charly’s Airport Restaurant last year after working there for eight years, recently made some changes including updating the interior décor (Charly’s is a small restaurant with eight tables inside and 11 patio tables) and adding a children’s menu. Beer is also now available. “I enjoy working here and seeing all the familiar faces that

come in, and chatting with them,” said Hausman. “That’s what I like about this job.” Charly’s Airport Restaurant 100 Marklay Road No reservations required Accepts cash and all major credit cards Hours: Open daily for lunch only, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Dinner: Fat Canary For an intimate dinner, plan on Fat Canary on Duke of Gloucester Street. This familyowned restaurant has been a staple in Merchants Square since 2003;
three siblings operate Fat Canary along with The Cheese Shop and The Wine Cellar next door. The fine dining restaurant, named for a line in a poem by Colonial-Era playwright John Lyly, has won the prestigious AAA Four Diamond award every year since its opening. Fat Canary specializes in seafood, with executive chef Thomas Power prepping different dishes nightly. “Everyone raves about the tuna tempura appetizer, and the oysters,” said co-owner Mary Ellen Power Rogers. “The scallops are also hugely popular, as well as the salmon and the rockfish.” Duck and other fowl, pork chops and prime beef tenderloin are also available. Enjoy an elegant meal and a glass or two of wine in a contemporary setting. WILLIAMSBURG MAGAZINE / MAY 2017

Nightcap: Triangle
Reservations are recommended, though you can also dine al fresco on the patio, which is first come, first served. “My sister, brother, and I grew up in this business,” said Rogers, whose parents first opened The Cheese Shop on Prince George Street in 1971. “There are a lot of good things about life, but one of our favorites is breaking bread and having a good meal with family and close friends. It’s nourishment to help keep you going and it’s also good for the spirit. I enjoy working in an environment where people like to come to celebrate their families and friendships.” Fat Canary 410 Duke of Gloucester Street Reservations Highly Recommended Accepts cash and all major credit cards Hours: Open for dinner only, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. 22
WILLIAMSBURG MAGAZINE / MAY 2017
End your evening with a tumbler of your favorite at Triangle, one of the best kept secrets in Williamsburg. The restaurant, on Prince George Street, offers entertainment from local musicians five nights a week. “We have an eclectic range of music: jazz, blues, rock and roll cover bands, solo artists, and a Capella choirs from the College of William & Mary,” said Matthew Black, Triangle co-owner and general manager. Signature cocktails at the restaurant, which has a nightclub vibe, are derived from David Embury’s The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. The Jack Rose and The Savoy Sling are best sellers. Triangle also has a variety of craft beers on tap, which rotate daily. The food menu is available until closing for those who are still hungry after eating your way through Williamsburg. “We are a small plates restaurant, so you can order something for a snack or a full meal, depending on what you are in the mood

for that night,” said Black. “The fish tacos are fantastic, as well as the macaroni and cheese and the Reuben egg rolls, which are rolled from scratch. Almost everything we have is made from scratch, and amazing.” That includes dessert. Triangle recently added fresh doughnut holes to the dessert menu, though the sopapillas (lightly fried tortilla wedges served with cinnamon ice cream) and the funnel cake fries are also musthaves. “And, yes, we do make our own ice cream,” Black said. More and more patrons are discovering Triangle since it opened in June 2015. “I really love serving people and making people happy,” Black said. “So far, it’s been incredible.” Triangle 601 Prince George Street Reservations suggested Accepts cash and all major credit cards Hours: Open daily at 11 a.m. Tuesday through Sunday

WSO plans memorable season finale By Seth Birkenmeyer The Williamsburg Symphony Orchestra hopes to wow classical music fans with one of their grandest concerts yet, the Fireworks Finale. “I’m excited to end this year with a big orchestra,” the symphony’s music director, Janna Hymes, said. Because of the season-ender’s scale, it will skip the symphony’s usual Kimball Theatre setting for the larger Phi Beta Kappa Hall at William & Mary. “It’s great for our orchestra,” Hymes said. “It makes us stand out.” The symphony invited violinist Elena Urioste to journey from her home in New York City to perform alongside the Williamsburg ensemble. “I am at a point in my life and career where I still very much crave adventure, opportunity and new experiences,” Urioste said. This made answering the symphony’s invitation an easy decision. The musician’s interest in music formed at the age of two, when violinist Itzhak Perlman appeared on “Sesame Street” and captivated her even then. In the years since, she has performed with the likes of the Boston Pops and the Cleveland Orchestra, showing off her own talent.
With her performance of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto at the Fireworks Finale, Urioste hopes audiences will revel in the ballet-inspired piece’s romanticism. “I hope the audience will delight in the juice and exhilaration that fills every ounce of this piece,” she said. “It is a work of great depth and concentration of emotion, but it also possesses a certain buoyancy that I hope to highlight in my performance.”
Urioste also said she is excited to visit Williamsburg for the first time.
WANT TO GO? The Fireworks Finale starts at 8 p.m. on May 20 at Phi Beta Kappa Hall. Tickets ranges from $48 to $58 or $20 with a student ID at the door. Call 757-229-9857 to reserve tickets.

Farmers Markets open with new additions
Photo courtesy of York County Tourism File photo
By Victoria Terrinoni ‘Tis the season, not necessarily to be jolly, but to get out and enjoy the fresh air while scouring the local farmers markets. The Yorktown Market Days opens earlier than ever this year on April 29. The market features all the food and entertainment of previous years, plus a few new items. In addition to new seafood sellers, the Yorktown Market Days has two theme markets in November, according to Don Willis, market manager. The themed market days begin May 13 with a Fitness Market. Other themes include a Pet Day in September, a Fall Festival in October, Harvest Festival and Holiday Open House in November, and the Holiday Market and Toyland Parade in December. Willis said the market’s location on the Yorktown waterfront between Buckner and Ballard streets, “is second to none.” The market runs rain or shine, with plans to move onto the first floor of the nearby parking garage, if needed. 26
WILLIAMSBURG MAGAZINE / MAY 2017
Also new this year are food trucks to provide more choices of food ready to eat. Willis said the Yorktown Market Days are unique because it has a section set aside just for local artists to showcase their work. Artists can bring original paintings, jewelry, acrylics, clay, sculptures, or photography. But no craft items. Over in Williamsburg the fun has already begun. The Williamsburg Farmers Market opened on March 4 with a selection of winter greens, forced bulbs, daffodils, chocolate, cheese, meats, honey, baked goods, peanuts and handmade soaps. Tracy Herner, market manager, said 2017 is the 15th anniversary of the market with several special events planned. Forums scheduled for June, July and August present the future of food. A special 15th anniversary day is planned for July 8 featuring music by LCV Project and demonstrations by Chef Jerome Grant. Herner said the market is unique in part because of its location in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg.
WANT TO GO? Yorktown Market Days When: Saturdays 8 a.m. - Noon, April 29 through Oct. 28 (except May 6 and October 7). Extended hours for special themed markets Where: On the riverfront between Buckner and Ballard streets For more information or a list of vendors, musicians and artists go to www.yorktownmarketdays.com Williamsburg Farmers Market When: Saturdays from 8 a.m. Noon, March 4 through Dec. 23 Where: Merchants Square, 402 W. Duke of Gloucester St. For more information about the market or events schedule go to www.williamsburgfarmersmarket.com “We put in a lot of time to ensure your experience at the market is special,” she said. “From the smell of fresh basil as you walk in, to the music and food sold by the producers, it is an appealing way to shop and meet neighbors. It also shows visitors what is special in Williamsburg and Virginia.”

Women’s Chorus to celebrate nature By Seth Birkenmeyer Mother Nature is the star of the Williamsburg Women’s Chorus’ upcoming concert, an hourlong event dubbed “The Earth Sings!” “There’s so much beautiful music written about nature,” Choir Director Beckie Davy said. She spent two months looking for songs, researching online and asking around her circle of friends in search of the perfect pieces. Davy said she was inspired by “our need to take care of the earth.” The event’s title stems from “Earthsongs,” a collection of pieces by Florida composer David Brunner that will be featured during the concert. It will open with the treble song, “Salut Printemps” ( “Welcome spring”), by Impressionist French composer Claude Debussy. The show will employ works by contemporary composers such as Cecilia McDowall, Eleanor Daley and Libby Larsen. The choir also commissioned music from Virginia Beach resident John Dixon, who wrote a new piece that will be featured
WANT TO GO? The show starts at 7:30 p.m. on May 16 at Walnut Hills Baptist Church. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children. They are available online at williamsburgwomenschorus.tix.com/Event. aspx?EventCode=945956.

Seniors who move can get help from Abundance Organizing By Victoria Terrinoni Senior moving is a growing piece of the organization profession according to Mindy Godding, one of three women who own Abundance Organizing, with offices in Williamsburg, Richmond and Charlottesville. “Over the past five years, we’ve done more and more senior moves. It is a totally different ball game,” Godding said. In fact, she recently moved her in-laws from a home in New Mexico, into an independent living facility in Williamsburg. Abundance Organizing, founded in 2010 by Godding,
Sara Bereika and Cathy LeHew, recently received an A+ rating from the National Association of Senior Move Managers. To get the rating, the women had three years to provide business practices and knowledge in the senior moving area. They pulled all their paperwork together in four months. “We don’t mess around,” Bereika said. To aid seniors in their moving process, Abundance Organizing helps: • Determine a timeline for the move • Make decisions. “We can be gentle or not so gentle,” Godding said.

TIPS TO PREPARE FOR A MOVE: • Find the place to which you plan to move. • Determine what can fit in your new space. • Take pictures of your current space so you can set up your new space as closely as possible. • Focus on what you want to save. • Decide how to best showcase your treasures in your new space. For more information about Abundance Organizing, see the website at www.abundanceorganizing.com 32

• Dispose of items not making the move. “We don’t do resale ourselves but we work with local resale shops and online auctions,” she said. • Prepare what is making the move and collaborate with local moving companies • Coordinate moving with the new place • Do all the unpacking The women deal with emotions when someone is moving from a home they’ve lived in for many years. Also family dynamics can play a role. “We have two different clients – the person moving and their family,” Godding said. “The challenge is getting the family on the same page,” Godding added. Seniors move for various reasons such as their home is too big for them, they feel isolated as friends and family move away or for healthcare needs. They call in Abundance Organizing when they feel overwhelmed. “Any transition is fraught with fears. It is the final chapter. They are going into an unfamiliar place. The unknown can be unsettling,” Godding said. “They are financially fearful about transitions, but getting help saves money in the long run. The sooner we are involved the better we can help,” Bereika added. People often think organizing work is about stuff, but to Abundance Organizing helping people is more important. “Whatever is going on in our physical environment reflects what is going on inside us. We try to infuse a happy, bright energy into the space,” Godding said.

A two-fisted celebration of Jamestown By Amanda Williams Four hundred and ten years ago, a group of people who sailed up the James River decided to settle on a spit of land. That decision to establish the first English colony will be celebrated May 13. Historic Jamestowne and Jamestown Settlement are teaming up for a day of tours and interpretive programs, including sailing a 17th century ship down the James River. “The highlight for us is sailing the Godspeed out from the pier and then the ship will sail up and down and right in front of
Historic Jamestowne too,” said Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation spokesman Robert Jeffrey. “A ship that would have looked just like that came up and docked at Jamestown, it’s sort of recreating that historic moment.” Jeffrey said the celebration always falls on the Saturday closest to May 13 and 14. They know the settlers arrived May 13, 1607, but likely didn’t step off the boat until the next day, he said. The celebration is a combined effort, and each organization will have separate events and admission fees. Jamestown Settlement is
run by the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. Historic Jamestowne, which is on the original settlement site, exists thanks to the effort of the National Parks Service and Preservation Virginia. The settlement is a living history museum, Jeffry said. It includes the Powhatan Indian Village, the ship’s pier and the replica of the 1610 fort. “Visitors will get a chance to learn about the 1607 first permanent English Settlement,” said Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation spokeswoman Tracy Perkins. “Also the lives of the English colonists and the Powhatan Indians, see

exhibition galleries, our outdoor recreation of a Powhatan Indian Village 1610-14 fort and recreations of the ship.” Historic Jamestowne has a strong archeological focus, Jeffrey said. A 7-day combination ticket for both sites, plus the Yorktown Battlefield and American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, costs $37 for adults, $25 for ages 13 to 15 and $14 ages 6 to 12. Anyone younger is free.
Admission to Jamestown Settlement is $17 for adults and $8 for ages 6 to 12. For Historic Jamestowne, adult tickets are $14 and anyone under 16 is free.

Coffee concert offers a melodious wake-up call By Seth Birkenmeyer The Williamsburg Winery is offering the opportunity to pair some classical music with a glass of crimson libation. The Virginia Arts Festival ‘s first Coffee Concert of 2017 will see the American String Quartet team up with pianist Andre-Michel Schub for a morning set featuring compositions from Mozart and more. “It has incredible colors and wonderful beauty as well as density,” Schub said.

Schub hopes the event’s relatively early 10:30 a.m. showtime will give those attending a fresh start to the day. The pianist has known the members of the American String Quartet for decades. He is eager to reconnect with them in the midst of their hectic lives. After the concert, patrons will be able to meet the musicians. Schub has long been in love with music, having started piano lessons with his mother at four years old. “It’s the most communicative art form,” he said. Schub made his concert debut in 1974 in New York City, with a performance The New York Times called a “grand splash” in their review. In 1981, he won gold at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Now, he is an artist in the Lincoln Center’s Chamber Music Society, having performed all over the globe. But the winery, where he has played previously, still appeals to him. “It’s a lovely space for chamber music,” he said. “The sound is wonderful.”
WANT TO GO? The concert commences at 10:30 a.m on May 11 at the Williamsburg Winery. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors and military, and $15 for students. They are available online at http://secure. vafest.org/single/SelectSeating. aspx?p=142.

things to do
May in Williamsburg means brews and BBQ By Troy Jefferson Meat lovers will have two chances to get their fix of beer and brisket at the Yorktown Blues Brews BBQ and the Bluegrass Beer and BBQ at the Muscarelle Museum. “I really wanted to do a community engagement day. This is not a fundraiser it’s a friendraiser,” said Dr. Aaron De Groft, Director of the Muscarelle Museum. “Last year it was on Mother’s Day and we had almost 400 people show up.” De Groft said the Bluegrass Beer and BBQ will feature five different barbeques and 26 different sauces. The Catering Company,
located on 108 Ingram Road, will cater the event. De Groft said this year’s event will feature a bluegrass gospel band and a contemporary bluegrass band. The Bluegrass Beer and BBQ will take place on May 7 from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Yorktown Blues Brews and BBQ The Yorktown Blues Brews and BBQ is in its third year and will feature 26 craft beers. “There will be 2 ounce tastings for as long as you like,” said Don Willis, the Yorktown Blues Brews and BBQ organizer said. Willis said there will be three bands and about 45 food vendors.
The event will also contribute to a good cause. “The proceeds for this go to the Yorktown foundation for public education,” Willis said. Willis said the feedback has been terrific. “I’ve been doing these events for a long time and last year’s event was the biggest event I ever done. It was huge, I was pleasantly surprised. We must be doing something right to get a good turnout,” Willis said he expects 2,500- 3,000 people to show up. The Yorktown Blues Brews and BBQ will take place on May 6 from noon to 6 p.m.
An organized appreciation of public art By Wesley Wright If you have a passion for public art and aesthetics, make plans for the first weekend of May. The Triangle Arts and Culture League Art&Garden will provide ample opportunity for you to see plenty of public art in the city of Williamsburg. On May 4, you can attend an auction of art items and treat yourself to an open bar. Barbara Kobylinska, a garden sculpture artist, will be available for you to meet. Most of the art featured throughout the weekend will be for sale, in case you're looking for a piece to spruce up the décor in your home. Friday, May 5, features a series of lectures. Viewers can see 48
WILLIAMSBURG MAGAZINE / MAY 2017
various pieces of art at the Williamsburg Community Building at the Stryker Center. The art largely comes from people who live in and around the Williamsburg area. Those ready to rise early Saturday morning can pay to visit 10 private cottage gardens and 4 cottage kitchens in the historic
Yorktown village. Musicians and artists will add to the ambiance as you mosey around the garden, and you can enter for just $5. Ticketholders can enter a contest where anyone can submit tablescape designs to the league, and the most notable ones will earn their creators a $250 prize.

Positive results “Setting aside advertising money in my budget each month for The Williamsburg Magazine has been one of the best decisions I have made for my business. With the vast out reach of the Magazine, who could go wrong? The rates are fair and the staff support has been excellent. I enjoy hearing from a good portion of my customers, whether they are local folks or visitors, that they saw my ad and “I just had to find you.” The Williamsburg Magazine is a definite recommendation for those considering options for their business advertising.” -Kellee Smalley, owner Willow Grove Primitives
