What to Do this Weekend?

The old addage that "there is nothing to do in Patrick County" could not be further from the truth this weekend. With somewhat of a threat of showers and thunderstorms hanging over the proceedings, a whole host of activities are scheduled for this springtime weekend here in "God's Country." I hope that you will attend as many of these events as possible and support the various worthy causes that will benefit from these community functions. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!

What to do this weekend, Apr. 19-20th? Here are the some options (this by the way is not intended to be an exhaustive list of activities, just what I heard about): Stuart Rotary Club's annual Blue Ridge Mountains Car Show, Saturday, Apr. 19, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Patrick County High School Parking Lot...Family Fun Day to Honor the Children of Patrick County, Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Rotary Field, Stuart (Disney characters, parade, games, food Black Hawk helicopter landing, dunkin' booth, family fun, and more)...2nd annual Singng for a Cure, sponsored by the Hilltop Hustlers Relay for Life Team, Saturday at 6 p.m. at Virginia Motorsports Museum (Vernon and Jason Harris & Friends, Debbie Bennett, and Upland Express)..."Angels on Wheels," Patrick County Public Schools Transportation Department Relay for Life team Flea Market/Bake Sale fundraiser Saturday from 8 a.m. until at the large picnic shelter at DeHart Park, Stuart..."High Point for Hope" Car Wash/Bake Sale, High Point Baptist Church Relay for Life team fundraiser from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Rite Aid, Stuart...Weiner Roast and Southern Prophets music at 5 p.m. Saturday at Concord United Methodist Church Picnic Shelter (rain or shine---free, no donations just enjoy)...Woolwine Volunteer Fire Department Inside Yard Sale, Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Bingo, Saturday evening at 7 (snacks and drinks available, 50/50 drawing)...Patrick County High School Band Boosters $10,000 Giveway and banquet at the at Patrick County High School cafeteria...wwwwhhhheeeeewwwwww! Are you tired yet? Well, we won't be able to support everything but can never again be said that "there is nothing to do in Patrick County." Hopefully, we have laid that myth to rest forever.

Whatever you do this weekend, spend some quality time with your loved ones and let them know how much they are appreciated, be careful, don't drink and drive, and know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please attend the church of your choice Sunday if you are able. Until next time, I leave you with my love and a prayer that God will bless you with a "great" weekend! :O)

On the go...
