A New Look For NCL Web! : 10.25.10
Afton
Nelson County, Virginia
After many years, we’ve made a major upgrade to our NCL site. We loved the one we had before, and know many of you did too! But, it was becoming very dated and wouldn’t allow us to update the things. Plus, many of you told us it was hard to navigate, so we have made things much simpler this time around! At the top in the big screen you see the most recent stories, they transition from story to story.
Weather has gone through a big makeover. We’ve moved it all the way to the bottom, by design, so that everything is in one spot! Not to worry. If you are a weather geek, like me, Tommy’s Audio Weather and that page have not moved and has the same familiar feel.
Most everything is working now, but we have lots of fine tuning to do in the coming days, so be patient, we’re getting to them all.
But spend some time looking around, and get the new feel!
More later this week as keep upgrading!

Have a great weekend!

These 3 Turn 3 Today! – Happy Birthday Blue Mountain Brewery : 10.22.10
Afton
Nelson County, Virginia
As they say, “To appreciate where you are, you have to appreciate where you have been!” These photos show the co-owners of Blue Mountain Brewery back in late 2006 and 2007 months before their grand opening in October 2007 on this exact date 10.22.10.
“When we opened our doors in October of 2007 we employed just 7 people. (Blue Mountain’s kitchen was once staffed only one man.” Our kitchen now has 8 hard working members,” Mandi Smack, BMB’s co-owner & founder tells NCL.
“Today, Blue Mountain employs just over 35 people between the brewery and the restaurant. We’ve had some growing pains but we are over the hump and going full steam ahead,” Mandi continues.
To celebrate their 3rd birthday, BMB has many beverage & food specials today, with games and $5 off tees and hoodies!
Happy Birthday and Congrats guys!!
