OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

It’s time to get ready for the Tomato Festival We’re getting our plans in place for coverage of the 2011 Hanover Tomato Festival and that includes all the news you need to know before the big day arrives on Saturday, July 9.

As always, the festival will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pole Green Park at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville.

Always enjoyable to witness is the Little Miss and Tiny Miss Hanover Tomato Pageant, under the very capable guidance of Lynn Watson of the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department, which just so happens to be the entity responsible for the annual festival.

The little ones — who are so, so adorable — will compete on Saturday, June 25, at the station. Winners are announced the day of the festival.

And, as you may have noticed, we have a thorough listing of what’s involved in the Tomato Contest this year on our front page. If you want to compete — and we’re sure you will — check out all the details provided.

Two years ago, a record crowd filled Pole Green Park and, even though rain may have dampened the turnout last year, those who attended did have a good time. That’s what you can expect with this Hanover County tradition: a good time.

So, mark your calendar and make plans to attend, participate, join in the fun.

Thanks to the work of the Tomato Festival Committee and Hanover County Parks & Rec, we can look forward to a great July 9 event.

Etc.

Socialism dosen’t work for long because evetually the working folks that support it quit to get the benefits and then there is no more money. “Socialism is shared misery.” -- Winston Churchill As for the cancer survival rates in my last letter they were from the World Health Organization (WHO). The USA has the highest survival rate in the world.

Civil War historian to give R-MC address Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Civil War historian Dr. James “Bud” Robertson Jr., Randolph-Macon College Class of 1955, will be the commencement speaker for his alma mater at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 28, in the R-MC Frank E. Brown Fountain Plaza on the campus in Ashland.

The announcement of Robertson’s address was made last week by R-MC president Robert R. Lindgren.

“We are thrilled that Dr. Robertson will serve as our speaker during this important time in Virginia’s history, the 150th anniversary of the Civil War,” Lindgren said.

“He is one of the most distinguished his-

16

The Mechanicsville Local

torians of the Civil War, but to R-MC, he is family and we are excited to welcome home this notable alumnus.”

Robertson is the recipient of every major award given in the Civil War field.

His biography of Gen. “Stonewall” Jackson, Stonewall Jackson: The Man, The Soldier, The Legend (Macmillan, 1997), won eight national awards and was used as the basis for the mega-movie “Gods and Generals.”

Robertson served as the chief historical consultant for the film.

He has authored or edited more than 20 books, including Civil War! America Becomes One Nation, General A.P. Hill, and Soldiers Blue and Gray.

Robertson is the executive director of the Virginia Center for Civil War Studies

May 25, 2011

at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.

According to Tech, Robertson’s Civil War Era course attracts 300 students per semester and is the largest of its kind in the nation.

He is a charter member of Virginia’s Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission, which was created by the General Assembly of Virginia.

Born in Danville, Robertson earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Randolph-Macon College in 1955 and master’s and doctoral degrees from Emory University.

In 1980, he was awarded the Honorary Degree Doctor of Letters from R-MC. He also has received an honorary degree from Shenandoah University.

Ashland is ready to start making some significant steps forward.

Mayor Faye O. Prichard recently talked to The Local about what the town can expect over the next couple of years — and she is excited and very positive about the future.

“The Town Council’s role is primarily a policy-making one, and we have been extra careful with our budget over the last couple years. We’ve managed to streamline without cutting our services to the town, and now it’s time to start getting things done,” Pritchard said.

She said the first thing on the agenda is re-evaluating and ensuring that the town’s water drainage systems meet

“We want to grow in a way that is healthy and that allows Ashland to keep its charm and history” FAYE O. PRICHARD Mayor

the requirements of the recently passed Chesapeake Bay Act. “Yeah, very exciting stuff, right?” Prichard said with a laugh. “Basically, property owned by the town can only generate a certain amount of runoff, and so we have to find ways to help a larger amount of water get absorbed.”

FAYE O. PRICHARD

While initially this can seem to be a concern with little bearing on Ashland’s residents, Prichard points out the opportunity it presents for council members to tackle more than one problem at once.

“It gives us a chance to consider how the work done to improve our drainage might also work toward town beautification and economic benefit.”

One of the major steps in town beautification that the council has budgeted for the coming year is nicer downtown sidewalks.

“The sidewalks are something we’ve needed for awhile,” Prichard said, “and the time has come to go ahead and get them done.”

Ashland came into 2011 with a surplus in the budget, a result of the Town Council’s careful planning over the past few years. Looking toward the future, the mayor said this contributes to the development of some exciting business opporsee MAYOR, pg. 17 `

tunities — one of the most significant of which has been over a year in the making.

The “Green Technology Business Incubator” reflects a partnership among Hanover County, the Town of Ashland and Dominion Power and aims to help start-up businesses that utilize environmentally responsible technology.

Randolph-Macon College recently hosted representatives from businesses in Israel with proposals for the incubator.

“One of the coolest presentations I heard was on a way to use bacteria that is already found in wastewater to essentially allow the water to clean itself,” Prichard cited as an example of the ideas that the

Aloha

incubator is looking to foster.

In terms of the benefits to the town, Prichard said they hope some of the business that come out of the incubator choose to base out of Ashland. Though a self-proclaimed “slow growth girl,” said stressed that change comes, one way or another.

“The important thing is to see that it is achieved responsibly and that is done right,” she said. “We want to grow in a way that is healthy and that allows Ashland to keep its charm and history.”

When it comes to the maintenance of Ashland’s charm, Prichard can’t say enough about its residents.

“The ChalkWalk, the Street Parties, the Blue Mountain Concert series — these are all wonderful events that are really a part of Ashland’s culture,

and they are all driven by it’s citizens,” she said. “There are so many things that get done because Ashland’s residents, and especially its women, are so committed to their community.”

Prichard described Ashland as a family, and called the responsibility to community that is felt so deeply by its citizens as the town’s greatest strength.

Though she said the council has been “treading water for awhile” and that it is time to “start doing things that move us toward the future,” it’s clear that the mayor views the future as much more than the decisions made by the town government.

“The wheels of this town really have nothing to with its government,” she said, smiling.

Volunteers needed for river cleanup The Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers Association will hold the 21st annual Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers Stewardship Day on Saturday, June 4.

Activities begin at 8:30 a.m. with a briefing at Dick Campbell’s place near King William Courthouse, Rainbow Acres Campground in King and Queen, and the West Point boat landing.

Participants will clean up portions of both rivers by boat and canoe, working from public and private landings.

Those on foot will clean up around bridges and landings and the Town of West Point. see RIVER, pg. 19 `

in 2002 to assume a position with Dinwiddie County High School.

During his nine-year career in Dinwiddie, Knowles has been equally pivotal in broadening the depth and reach of the school’s 29 athletics programs, three academic competition teams and 17 student activities programs.

“Mr. Knowles is honest, loyal and trustworthy, and his integrity is beyond reproach,” William R. Haney, Dinwiddie County’s school board district 2 representative,said. “I recommend Knowles. His ‘can-do’ attitude, coupled with his work ethic, have resulted in a very successful activities program at Dinwiddie High School.”

A resident of Chester, Knowles graduated from Longwood College with a bachelor of science degree in physical education and received his master’s of science degree from Virginia State University in educational administration and supervision. He expects to graduate later this year from Liberty University with an advanced education specialist degree in educational leadership.

County Applebee’s being revitalized Applebee’s has announced the revitalization of 12 restaurants — including Mechanicsville and Ashland — located across Richmond. Dubbed the “River City Recharge.” The market-wide transformation kicked off in March with construction on all locations to be completed in mid-June.

Each restaurant will undergo a three-day revitalization with locations closing on Sunday after business hours and reopening its doors to the local community the following Thursday.

On the menu: A remodeled interior and exterior with warmer colors and contemporary design, including design elements specific to the neighborhood each restaurant serves. In addition, service enhancements and new food and drink selections including the Bourbon Street menu,

Under 550 Calories menu and All-You-Can-Eat soup, salad and bread lunch will be featured.

The restaurants will be among the first of more than 1,800 Applebee’s locations in the United States to receive the renovation, and this collection of units across the River City also will be one of the first market-wide remodels in the nation.

The new design was developed using test units near the Applebee’s International headquarters located in Lenexa, Kan., with a goal to complete the revitalization of all companyowned and franchise restaurants over the next several years. The Richmond-area Applebee’s will accelerate this timeline to complete work on 12 of its units this spring and summer.

Fire/EMS to participate in state recruitment study The Virginia Fire Chiefs Association (VFCA) announced that Hanover Fire/EMS has been selected as one of 20 departments in Virginia to par-

ticipate in a federally-funded program to develop a first-ofits-kind model to achieve and sustain adequate levels of fire and emergency service volun-

teer staffing.

The Volunteer Workforce Solutions (VWS) program is being led by the Virginia Fire Chiefs Association, which

identified the need for departments in Virginia to seek new solutions to address continuing downward trends in volunteer staffing levels.

The VFCA secured the funding from a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant.

Research and data collected by the VFCA since 2004 has shown that staffing issues in volunteer fire departments is consistently the No. 1 issue facing fire departments in Virginia.

A 2010 Virginia Fire Service Needs Assessment Survey conducted by the Virginia Department of Fire Programs found that 67 percent of all survey respondents reported the need for more volunteer firefighters.

The VWS program will work to identify and address recruitment and retention challenges facing volunteer fire departments while helping the departments and elected officials in effectively planning their future emergency response systems.

“Over the last several years, it has been very tough for many fire departments throughout Virginia to recruit and retain volunteers for a variety of reasons,” chief Jack Jones, VFCA president, said. “Most volunteer

fire departments are constantly struggling to bolster their volunteer workforce in order to provide the optimum level of protection for residents. The participating departments -and their communities -- are really stepping up to provide leadership on this issue, not just for Virginia, but for volunteer fire departments throughout the nation.”

Hanover Fire/EMS trains and certifies about 60 firefighters each year. The county’s population of about 100,000 and a constantly increasing number of emergency calls has the department very focused on manpower and staffing needs.

“We have volunteer opportunities available, and encourage our citizens to learn more about this,” Chris Hubbard, a battalion chief and veteran member of the department, said.

Twenty departments were selected by the VFCA to participate in the year-long effort.

These departments were selected based on geographic information, population, fire department statistics and an interest to participate by the community.

Ten departments will participate in a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Segmentation study that will

use technology to take a deeper look at the community’s characteristics and create a future roadmap for recruitment and retention. The other 10 departments will serve in a control group engaging in a traditional recruitment campaign.

Hanover Fire/EMS is one of 10 departments selected to work with the VFCA in the GIS Segmentation study that will measure demographic, cultural and economic data to predict the best way to recruit and maintain a volunteer emergency response workforce.

The basis of these studies is that, like people, communities have “personalities” that can be analyzed to identify the characteristics and traits that will attract a viable and sustainable volunteer firefighter workforce.

It is intended that these studies will provide a roadmap for the individual community to show the current state of each area and suggest recommendations that can further advance the recruitment and sustainability of volunteers.

For information on volunteering, call Hanover Fire/EMS at 365-6195.

‘Live Here Shop Here’ receipt program winners listed Hanover County Public Schools recently partnered with the Hanover County Department of Economic Development to promote a local shopping Live Here Shop Here receipt program in the elementary and middle schools during March and April.

Hanover baseball looking to halt slide Hawks’ offense has flown south

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com On May 6, the Hanover Hawks were virtually on top of the Richmond baseball world.

They had just handed homestanding Lee-Davis a decisive 13-0 five inning loss to move to 13-0 on the season. Following the game, Confederate head coach Kenny Lewis deemed the Hawks in a completely different league than his squad.

But on the following night Hanover began an unexpected and unprecedented slide that has left everyone in the region scratching their heads.

When visiting Mills Godwin escaped Hanover with a 6-4 victory on May 7, it appeared the Hawks had not only lost their first game of the season but a substantial portion of the swagger that had carried them through their first 13 contests.

Over their final seven regular season games, Hanover has a 3-4

After starting the season 13-0, the Hanover baseball team has gone 3-4 to close out the regular season. A key component to their losing streak has been lack of steady production at the plate.

record with no victories over a team with a winning record.

Ten days after beating down Lee-Davis, Hanover lost at home to the Confederates 21 and what once looked like an easy cruise to regionals and beyond suddenly became a desperate situation for the Hawks.

On Monday evening (following press deadlines), Hanover had fallen into a playoff situation with Atlee to determine

the Capital District regular season champion and the automatic bid to the Central Region Tournament.

Junior pitcher Chris Childress feels the Hawks have lost more than mere games. “I think that one loss to Godwin, we just stopped playing to win,” he said. “We lost our tenacity.

We lost our will to win. It’s in there somewhere. We’ve just got to find a way to find it.”

Diagnosing what is broken has been easy for head coach Charlie Dragum. “We’ve just

stopped hitting basically,” he said. “We’ve stopped having good at-bats and we’ve stopped competing as far as I can tell.”

Yet, even as the offense has tapered off, the Hawks pitching and defense remains solid.

Playing at #1 Cosby last week, Hanover turned in a solid defensive performance, but fell 5-4 to the Titans because they could not generate timely hits.

“Everything’s magnified when you’re not hitting,” Dragum said. “Early in the year we were swinging out bats on

record pace for us. We had a great year going statistically and we were scoring a lot of runs.”

As such, situational hitting was not as important at the time. Now as the Hawks are involved in close contests timely at-bats have proved costly.

“Now when runs are scarce, to get a guy over and get him in is tough,” Dragum said. “I don’t know if we’re not in the right frame of mind as far as executing the job situationally? We’re up there trying to hit home runs or hit balls in the gaps when we

should be working on moving the guy over?”

As easy as it has been to diagnose the problem, a solution has been far from simple.

“That’s what we’ve been trying to figure out,” Dragum said. “That’s what every conversation we’ve had over the last week has been about and we’ve tried a little of everything, so I don’t know.

“We’ve talked about the ability to get in and fight,” he said.

“Just really fight. Not worry so much about doing things pretty, just get in there and battling and having more of a warrior mentality than anything.”

Childress agrees. “I think the big thing is we need to play with a little more heart,” he said.

“Just finding a way to go out and punch somebody else in the mouth, take something personal for once.”

Playing the Capital District Tournament on their home field could be just the cure that the Hawks are looking for.

“That’s our field,” Childress said.

“We practice there and when it comes down to a district tournament, we’re going to defend our house. Show people how Hanover really needs to play baseball.”

Triemplar was equally impressed. “When it’s done at the level that he competes at, that’s really pretty to watch that achievement,” he said.

In the growing darkness, Pillow made three attempts to raise the record to 16-4.75 but was unable to clear the bar.

Still, the senior walked away knowing he had broken the previous district record by nearly two feet.

“It feels really good,” Pillow said, pointing out that he was not even aware of what the record was until that morning.

“I’m really satisfied about that.”

After years of hard work,

Pillow’s pole vaulting career has come full circle. Every vaulter starts off ignoring competition and setting goals of increasing their PR’s (personal records).

“When you first get into the sport PRs are important,” Triemplar said. “But then you reach a certain point and you start competing against the competition. You develop little rivalries against people from other schools and because you’re helping your team your place becomes more important, PRs will come.

“Then when you get so good, like (Pillow) is, or like (Lee-Davis distance runner) Cody Snyder is when he’s on, or like (Atlee sprinter) Marques (Atkinson) when he’s on, then

you start competing against numbers again.”

Hence, for Pillow, competition has evolved to a point where success is no longer measured in trophies or titles.

“Not so much as trying to get those heights up, maybe break a state record or something even higher,” he said.

Pillow’s success can easily be

attributed to pole vault coach Kyle Bishop, who has produced some of the best vaulters in Central Virginia. For Bishop, the sky is the limit for Pillow.

“He’s still growing, that’s the cool thing about Chris,” Bishop said. “Chris is only 17 years old so when he goes next year to Rice (University) he’s still going

Atlee comes up short in GRLL Championship Submitted by Atlee co-head Coach Tom Mackay

The Atlee Girl Raiders and the Midlothian Club battled for the Greater Richmond Lacrosse League (GRLL) Championship last Tuesday with Midlothian edging the Raiders 12-11 in a back and forth game.

It was definitely a game of momentum, as each team went on scoring runs, unfortunately Atlee ran out of time.

The game started back and forth with no goals being scored by either team. There were a couple of shots that went off the posts and some nice saves by each goalie, especially freshman Savannah Dicken, who kept Atlee in the game in the first half with many of her 15 saves for the game.

Atlee opened the scoring on a goal by junior Brianna Mackay. Midway through the first half, Midlothian went on a run, scoring five goals in a little over four minutes, mostly on transition offense.

Atlee senior Annie Lassiter makes a move towards the goal versus the Midlothian defense.

Then it was Atlee’s turn.

After a timeout Atlee scored their second goal eight seconds later with a nice feed from Samantha Barnitt (who won the ground ball off the draw) to senior Annie Lassiter who

caught it in front of the cage and put the shot away in the top corner.

Atlee took control of the game for the remainder of the half, with sophomore Lauren Winfrey scoring off a nice

and midfielders mentioned previously, Atlee was led with strong defensive performances from funior Laura Semones, freshman Peyton Krevonick, senior Shannon Fulk, and sophomore Rachel Doggett.

Junior Emily Oliver was also battling Midlothian all day on the draws.

Atlee finished its first season 11-4 and seniors Jessica Nunnally, Emma Bradberry, Annie Lassiter, Morgan’s Braun, and Fulk finished their Atlee lacrosse careers in the State Club Championship at Sports Quest on May 21 and 22.

The Hanover Hurricanes placed 3rd in the GRLL tournament with its 15-8 win over the West End Club.

The AAA state meet record of 16-06 was set in 2005 by Michael Morrison of Great Bridge. Morrison also holds the unofficial state record vault of 17-6 ½. Fellow Great Bridge vaulter Lawrence Johnson is the number two vaulter in the state and he went on to claim an Olympic Silver medal.

goals in a minute and half; all on transition offense moving the ball down the field with some of the prettiest passing of the season.

Senior Morgan Braun scored two of the goals, both assisted by Lauren Winfrey with Winfrey scoring the other goal.

Midlothian battled back and went on a run scoring seven goals over the next nine minutes, to one goal by Atlee sophomore Katherine Leitch on a beautiful top corner shot.

After another Atlee timeout, Atlee again took control and scored two more goals by Winfrey and Buckley to cut the lead to 12-10.

After a Midlothian timeout, Atlee won the draw and Mackay drew a penalty shot and scored to make the score 12-11 with 1.01 left in the game. However, Midlothian was able to win the next draw and run out the clock for the last minute to win an exciting GRLL Championship.

Limits pushed and titles fall at district meets Atlee boys, Lee-Davis and Patrick Henry girls claim titles

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Capital and Colonial District track & field championships made their first visit Glen Allen High School last weekend and initiated the new facilities with a string of broken records and near misses.

District MVP Chris Pillow was at the forefront of Atlee’s Capital District boys championship team by setting a new league pole vault record at 1603 smashing the 14-08 mark he set last year.

Lee-Davis’ Montasia Golden led the Confederate girls squad to a district title with a record triple jump of 38-09.5 surpassing the mark set by former C-Fed Rachel Butler in 2007.

Golden was one second off the 100 meter hurdle record with a winning run of 14.74.

With vaults of 12-00, Atlee’s Cameron Overstreet and Henrico’s Stephanie Oleson both surpassed the 11-07 pole vault record set by Emma Dejarnette in 2008. However, Oleson took the district title by clearing 1206 on her third attempt.

Hanover’s Marzae Brooks set a new Capital District boys discus record with a throw of 158-08, breaking the 157-10 mark set by Lee-Davis’ Adam Taylor in 2007.

Atlee Katherine Leitch, Katie Gardner, Emma Arner and Katie Bland also set a new mark in the 4x800 relay with a time of 9:47.19 breaking the 9:49.06 record set by Hanover last year.

Atlee high jumpers Kala Page and Marques Atkinson each won their respective titles and came up just shy on their attempt to tie district records.

Page won the girls title with

a jump of 5-04 and barely brushed the bar on her attempt at 5-06. Atkinson won with a jump of 6-02 but failed to clear on a tying jump of 6-06.

Armstrong’s Quanesha Wallace missed tying the record in the 100 by three tenths of a second.

With 214 points scored, Atlee cruised to the boys title past Lee-Davis 151.50. Highland Springs (119.50) was third followed by Hanover, Henrico, Varina and Glen Allen.

“We had some good performances, we really did,” said Atlee head coach Jim Triemplar who was named boys coach of the year. “Almost all the way across the board the guys came through.”

Key to the Raiders’ success was their ability to surpass regular season marks. “Over our 20-year history, we have had a tendency to perform better on championship rounds in relation to our regular season teams, more so than any other teams have,” Triemplar said.

“We just plan on doing that.

That’s what we expect.”

Marques Atkinson piled on the points with win in the 110 hurdles and 800, taking second in the 400, and a fourth place finish in the long jump to go along with his high jump title.

Twin brother Michael Atkinson won the 300 hurdles, took second in the 110 hurdles finished second in the 200, third in the high jump and fourth in the long jump.

The Raiders piled on the points in the pole vault, with Pillow (1st), Trey Rydel (2nd), Scott Elwood (tie-3rd) and Matt Thompson (6th).

They did likewise in the high jump with Adam O’Keefe, Dre Bennett and Kodi Page claiming the two, four and six slots.

for the final leg he trailed svelte 5-10, 165 Varina running back De’Chavon Hayes by a good meter. But the beefy Vaughn, who took fourth in the 100, blistered a path to the finish line to get the win by 0.13 seconds.

“His starts have been his Achilles’ Heel in the open 100,” said Lee-Davis head coach Neil Matthews. “So when you get that boy the stick when he’s already moving, we’re in business.”

Overall Matthews was pleased with the production he got from his limited squad. “We just don’t have the guns to stick with (Atlee),” he said. “We really competed well with where we had people in the meet. We just don’t have the depth.”

The Lee-Davis girls came away with a comfortable 164.50-114 win over second place Atlee. Hanover was third with 96 points followed by Armstrong, Henrico, Highland Springs, Varina and Glen Allen.

Lee-Davis senior Tiel Westbrook earned coMVP honors by leading the Confederates to a wins in the 1600 and 800.

Golden and Westbrook were the only C-feds to take titles but Lee-Davis won on the strength of their depth.

“Depth kind of got us through today,” said Matthews who was named girls coach of the year. “We didn’t necessarily get the top points that we’re used to but our depth got us through so we feel fortunate with that.”

Brie Jackson and Dallas Tennessee claimed third and fourth in the long jump while Jackson also took fourth in the triple jump, fourth in the 100 hurdles and sixth in the high jump. Tennessee was second in the 100 and third in the 200.

Atlee’s Kala Page took the long jump title and claimed second in the triple jump.

“Kala’s just brought so much to this team in terms of the fact she smiles every time she comes out of the pit,” Triemplar said.

“She loves what she’s doing. She competes.”

Atlee’s Madison Angus, Kaitlin O’Kelly, Austin Lackey and Alexandra Farnsworth took fourth, sixth and a seventh place tie in the pole vault.

Hanover’s Anna Gordon and Molly Briendenbaugh claimed a one-two finish in the 3200. Breidenbaugh also took

Armstrong’s Quanesha Wallace was named co-MVP. Teshad Chambers of Highland Springs was named boys runner MVP. COLONIAL DISTRICT The Patrick Henry girls utilized depth to claim the Colonial title, edging out Maggie Walker Governor’s School 139-106. Jessica Shelton swept the 100 hurdles (14.78) and 300 hurdles (47.73) to lead the Patriots to the title.

Teammate Brooke Perdue took third and fourth respectively in the hurdle events. Shelton also claimed fourth in the long jump.

Shania Williams won the shot put (34-8) and took fifth in the discus for Patrick Henry.

CALENDAR Continued from pg. 32 b

monthly production coined “First Fridays” is held on the first Friday of every month at Atlee Community Church with the next one scheduled on June 3. This is the season finale and will be lots of fun. Kidstuf is virtue driven where character and faith are taught by emphasizing a monthly virtue. The June virtue is faith— trusting in what you can’t see because of what you can see. It is a place where parents and their children can come together in a

unique environment that will give them a shared experience that they can discuss further together during the week. It is free to the community and there will be a variety of activities to enjoy before Kidstuf beginning at 6 p.m. The Kidstuf theatre opens its doors at 7:15 p.m. for the production. This event unites families while providing a fun environment filled with laughter and learning. Kidstuf is a “no drop off zone”. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Atlee Community Church is located at 7171 Verdi Lane, Mechanicsville, VA 23116.
