Spring fever
There is lots going on in Goochland this week.
Tonight, April 24, the Richmond Symphony will play at the
Hardywood Park Craft Brewery in West Creek. The concert, which begins at 6:30
p.m. is free, but donations are requested to support the Symphony’s music
education programs in Goochland Public Schools. What’s not to love? See hardywood.com/event/special-rush-hour-1970-01-01/
Food trucks for details.
Friday, April 26 is opening night for the GHS production of
the musical Hairspray. The top-notch
drama department is a local treasure, don’t miss it. The schedule is: Friday
7-9:30 p.m.; Saturday 2-5 p.m. and 7 to 9:30; and Sunday 2:30 to 5 p.m. Shows
are in the high school auditorium (in case you do not know, the high school is
on Route 6, west of its intersection with Sandy Hook Road, Rt. 522 in
Courthouse Village.) Tickets, adults $12, students $10, are available online at
http://drama.goochlandschools.org/hairspray/
or at the door. Our kids work hard to stage these productions, fill the seats
and enjoy.
The 15th annual spring garden fest will bloom on the
Goochland campus of Reynolds Community College on Saturday, April 27. This is a
free family event, from 8 to 3, celebrating all things relating to gardening.
The Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardeners offer plants they’ve
grown for sale and will have a booth with free gardening information and
advice. There are also classes. Visit www.gpmga.org/spring-garden-fest/
for complete information.
Saturday is also prescription take back day sponsored by the
Goochland Sheriff’s Office and the DEA. Between 10 and 2 deputies will be at
Courthouse Company 5 fire-rescue station (near Food Lion in Courthouse Village)
and the West Creek Emergency Center (off of Rt. 288) to collect potentially dangerous, expired, unused, and
unwanted prescription drugs for safe disposal. This is a great time to remove
this nasty stuff from your home.
American Legion Post 215 will
host its annual spring bazaar on Saturday, April 27 from 9 to 2 at the post headquarters,
3386 River Road West, just past the high school. An exceptional group of
vendors will be participating.
Goochland Green Day will
happen on Sunday, April 28 from 2 to 5 at Tucker Park (1300 Maidens Road (RT.
522), South of River Road West on the north bank of the James
River.) There will be live music; a photo contest; litter clean up; games and
crafts; community organizations; and butterfly garden maintenance.
This is also the week that

generous as you can to help those less fortunate. Go to http://www.goochlandcares.org/hunger-hurts-goochland-gathers/
