This weekend is a very good example of the wealth of opportunities available to citizens for entertainment in a wide variety of forms. Check out a few of these possibilities and think about making a day or a weekend of it. In the current economy (particularly gas prices), there is no better time to enjoy those events that are close to home. I have included just some of the events available within the region. (Yes, I am acknowledging areas other than just Christiansburg!)
Cruisin' Christiansburg will be occupying downtown Christiansburg on Saturday.
Friendly Garden Tour will provide access to 8 private gardens as a fundraiser for the Friends of the Library. What a wonderful way to enjoy some of the beautiful gardens while helping out our wonderful library at the same time.
For an even bigger piece of the variety pie:
Farmer's Market at Meadowbrook Bringing it all into perspective:
TAKE ME OUT TO THE.......
Then step both forward and back in time with sports. What is more traditional for an American family outing than a BASEBALL game? A LOT of baseball games. Check out this
Roanoke Times article for more details. The Harkrader Sports Complex will be hosting some of the top Dixie League Teams around. Just think, you could be one of the first to see members of the team that win the World Series in a few years.
Along with being great fun, it is an opportunity to applaud not only the home run or the diving catch in the outfield. It is a chance to give praise to those who exhibit the highest quality of any sport - good sportsmanship. Whether or not you have children playing on one of the teams. It is great fun to watch and to be a part of the 'crowd'.
If you get a little tired of the hustle and bustle of all of those, come down and visit us in Cambria. We will be hanging out, keeping cool, and encouraging all things "Green". No, not green in color. Those things that are environmentally friendly. We have safe, wooden, old-fashioned, new toys that have been produce in as environmentally friendly manner as possible. Just across the street, the antique dealers that the Emporium can help you take the concept of recycling one step further by making recycling an investment in your future. What a cool idea to save a tree by buying wooden furniture that will go up in value over the years.
Whatever you choose to do remember that it is the memories of that time spent that will last a lifetime and beyond. Maybe you can pick out several events to go to and make it a full day of fun. Drive safely and enjoy the day!
