Selling out in less than an hour, fans and critics proclaimed the show one hot ticket! The concert was hailed by the Dallas Morning News as “an extravaganza” that “showcased Strait at the pinnacle of his musical game” and Ft.

Nelson County, Virginia
The most recent snow storm is in the history books, but lots of snow still remains. Enough snow is still on many secondary roads that a large majority of area schools have again called off school today due to slick roads. Nelson County Public Schools are closed this Monday, as well as North Branch School. Many other schools are closed, but those are the only two we have confirmation on within Nelson County.

Today will be sunny and warm with a valley high near 40°. There’s a chance for light snow Tuesday night, but a much more significant storm system look to be on the horizon again, just in time for the weekend!

Stay tuned, and enjoy your snow day!

Nelson County, Virginia
After a long Saturday indoors, people are beginning to venture out this Sunday. Between 8 and 12 inches of snow fell across Nelson County with the second storm of this winter season pounding the area. Though at least a foot shy of December’s, this storm was still a significant one.

The folks at The Java Depot were one of a handful that made it in early Saturday to open the doors to customers. Most area businesses remained closed on Saturday or had limited hours.

As of Saturday night, most roads in Nelson remained snow packed, but the major highway were passable with care. VDOT continues plowing to get roads in shape for easier travel.

After a very cold night Saturday with temperature readings near 0° on the mountains and near 10° in the valley, sbundant sunshine returns Sunday with temps in the valley briefly inching to the mid 30’s.

There’s another chance for a winter mix on Tuesday night and then again toward week’s end.

For the second time in just a little over a month Nelson County and much of Virginia has been slammed again with a significant snowfall. As of 1PM Saturday, a Winter Storm Warning continued and heavy snow was falling all across the area.

Roads conditions across the area are described as slick and hazardous with snow pack on all roads. VDOT is plowing highways and interstates, but continued heavy snow makes it difficult to stay clear. Cheryl Tompkins, owner of Stoney Creek Pharmacy in Nellysford, told us around 1PM I-64 was in decent shape toward Waynesboro, but in Waynesboro proper roads were a mess.

Tonight: Nixon’s Nixon

Nixon’s Nixon by Russell Lees
On August 7, 1974, the night before becoming the first and only American president to resign, Richard Nixon met with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at the White House. There are no tapes of *this* meeting. In Russell Lees’ political satire, Nixon has not yet decided to resign, and both men are determined to secure their place in history. They drink, they talk…

‘Mr Lees’ play flashes with humor…as hilarious as it is hair-raising.’
(Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times)

Directed by Marcello Rollando, with Chris Patrick and Chris Baumer.

Showing in rep with
All is Always Now, by Robert Wray

Robert Wray’s comedy about actors and acting, loss and moving on was developed, in part, at the Hamner’s VPI workshop. Elements of Shakespeare, Melville and Chekhov combine to create a story about a group of theater friends who gather together for one last night in New York.

Directed by Peter Coy, with Kevin O’Donnell, Chris Patrick, Anya Scott and Ryan Wender.
