Shipman
Nelson County, Virginia

As predicted, thunderstorms developed Sunday afternoon across Central Virginia. Some of those storms briefly reached severe limits, and for a short period of time parts of Nelson County were under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. Only isolated thunderstorms popped just before dark Sunday and most of the activity diminished after sunset.

Look for scattered showers to continue throughout most of Monday and Tuesday. By Wednesday, mostly sunny skies will return with warming temperatures right on into next weekend.

Wintergreen/Nellysford
Nelson County, Virginia

The folks over at Wintergreen Winery opened their newest event facility this past weekend, The Verandah. We told you about it here in our April 2010 printed issue of Nelson County Life Magazine.

The Rogan Brothers Band were on hand to help Wintergreen Winery salute the opening, their 17th anniversary. Junior Publisher, Adam Stafford, approved!

Even with rainy skies a threat, no worries! The band just moved under the covered porch and kept on playing. One of the beauties of the new facility.

Blue Ridge Medical Center will host its Reach Out for Rural Health next month at The Verandah on May 21st at 6:30 PM. It’s one of the first large events at the facility.

Congrats to Wintergreen Winery on 17 years! And, The Verandah!
