Most everyone has seen the Travelocity Gnome and that short little one made a stop in Afton at Silverback Distillery Saturday afternoon as part of gameday at UVa. “My oldest daughter Lauren is a fourth year at UVA and they picked her to follow around Charlottesville for game day,”Christine Riggleman, co-owner of Silverback told us over the weekend.
