Hard to believe it was way back on 11.11.11 that the doors officially opened at Wild Wolf Brewing in Nellysford. On Friday November 11, 2016 the company celebrated it’s 5th anniversary.
Click here and here for a look back at the history of Wild Wolf and the building before WW ever bought it anf then turned it into the spectacular place it is today!
Congrats on 5 great years WW and here’s to many more!

Thanks to Dima Holmes for this beautiful photo from a recent hike she took here in Nelson. She tells us this was taken from Hanging Rock which is off of the AT and shortly below you reach the top of Three Ridges Mountain. Looking South I think towards the Tye River area. The highest peak you see in that photo is the Priest.
Perfectly sums up the beautiful colors popping here now. As a matter of fact, in the highest of elevations the leaves are already disappearing. So if you want a glimpse. Get there soon!
Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend on Sunday – November 6, 2016 at 2AM, but for simplicity’s sake it’s easier to turn your clock back one hour before bed on Saturday night (November 5th)

It’s that time again. This weekend marks the end of Daylight Saving Time. Be sure to set your clock back one hour before heading to bed Saturday night. Or if you’re a night owl, you can watch it arrive officially at 2AM Sunday morning – November 6th. Then set your clock back to 1AM!
Ghosts & goblins were out everywhere this past Monday evening during the annual Halloween celebration held on Main Street in Lovingston. It’s a magical time when most of the businesses and homeowners decorate for the spooky evening and hand out candy and treats for the kids!
And though the weather this week has been warm and even predicted to be hot on Wednesday, Tommy says much cooler temps arrive by Friday after some showers on Thursday. Listen to his forecast below.

Nelson County, Virginia
After a long and sometimes controversial wait, the new windows are being installed at the Rockfish Valley Community in Afton. Last weekend the windows started going in that will replace the old ones. Some of them date back to days the building housed the old Rockfish School. Congrats RVCC and thanks to all of the volunteers helping to get the windows installed, just in time for winter ahead!
