I received the urgent email that Piglett (or Piggles as she is now known) was in a shelter and her time was up. She along with nine other beagles were to be gassed to death on October 31st. That’s when I said let’s save them and so began the big rescue as rescue workers as well as transporters decided to intervene. Many hands helped out to allow these beagles a chance to live and to know love and Piglett found safety, security and love on a farm with her friend Dillon another beagle from the rescue. However this is only a foster and Piglett needs a forever home…soon. This Thanksgiving season, in the spirit of gratitude, please open your hearts and if you’ve been considered adopting a dog, please think about this sweet, two-year-old, very loving beagle. If you cannot take a dog, think about donating your time or money to one of the many shelters working to show animals that this world does include love and compassion.
Piglett is approximately two-years old. She is a spayed female, heart-worm and Lyme negative. She has had all her shots. She is lovable and good with other dogs and children. She is shy of gunshot however and would definitely need a fenced in yard. Ideally she would live with one or two other dogs in the house, with a doggie door and a secured back yard. Please help her have a second chance at life and love. Call: 434-277-9163. Thank you for caring.

The return, after three years, of the beloved family Christmas story, The Homecoming, by Earl Hamner.
The Homecoming is the heart-warming story of a family waiting for the magic of Christmas Eve to arrive – not Santa, but Daddy – told from the perspective of the adult Clay-Boy as he remembers the journey he took, on that snowy evening long ago.
Says writer Earl Hamner of The Homecoming, “It is remembered in my family that on Christmas Eve of 1933 my father was late arriving home. That, along with the love he and my mother bestowed upon their eight red-headed offspring, is fact. The rest is fiction.”
Performances will take place Thu. – Sat. at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. There will be a free Preview Wednesday, November 18 at 7:30 p.m. There will be no shows on Thursday & Friday of Thanksgiving week, Nov. 26 & 27. Performances on Thursday, Nov. 19 and Friday, Nov. 20 will be followed by a free cider & cookies reception with cast and crew. Tickets $10, $5 for 12 & under. Reservations are suggested, phone (434)361-1999. Visit www.thehamnertheater.com for more information.
