Nelson County, Virginia
There was a fire earlier this week at The Oakland Museum in Arrington, Virgina. This was a good fire. The best kind!
In the fall of 2004 the Nelson County Historical Society purchased the Oakland property for the purpose of establishing a county museum focused on rural life in Nelson County. With a $275,000 purchase price for the 11 acres and the existing house, the Society began the campaign to pay for the Oakland property. The initial contribution of $50,000 from the Nelson County Board of Supervisors, and contributions from Society funds along with donations from many individuals during the last five years, has allowed the Society to retired the loan debt.
Under the direction of a competent Oakland Museum Board the development of the property has also progressed with renovations to the house and the addition of a safe highway entrance and parking area. Just two of the highlighted exhibits at the museum include the development of rural electrification in Nelson County and the impact of Hurricane Camille in the county.
Way to go Oakland!
Oakland – Nelson County Museum of History is open on Saturdays 10-4 and Sundays 1-4.
Nelson County, Virginia
Though spotty showers have been about the area in the past week, moisture is in rare supply right now. Couple that with winds of 45 MPH on Wednesday and you have the perfect recipe for brush and forest fires across portions of Central Virginia.
Low humidity levels with very little rain lately have increased the fire threat. Late Wednesday afternoon a significant forest fire started on Horseshoe Mountain in Southern Nelson County. That fire was under control just before dark.
Rain chances are on the increase Friday night into Saturday, but not before gusty winds return again on Friday.

Rough, Tough Roller Derby Action comes to Charlottesville with the Charlottesville Derby Dames’ Daylight Slayings Brawl November 1st.
CHARLOTTESVILLE – The Charlottesville Derby Dames hopes that Central Virginia is ready for fast girls on wheels, in real live bone-crushing, fishnet-ripping, mascara-smudging roller derby experience.

The Charlottesville Derby Dames will be making their brutal return in an away bout against Rocktown Rollers on October 18, 2009 in Harrisonburg, VA, and then will bring the action on home for the Daylight Slayings Brawl, November 1, at the Augusta Expo Land in Fishersville, VA.. Doors open at 4:00 pm and the action starts at 5:00. Pre-sale tickets for the Daylight Slayings bout are $5 and available at Black Cat Skate Shop and at BrownPaperTickets.com. Proceeds will go to the Shelter for Help in Emergency
Background:
The Charlottesville Derby Dames, operated by skaters as a not-for-profit organization, is Charlottesville’s only all-female flat track roller derby league. By day they are mothers, nurses, teachers, vets, bartenders, artists and more; by night they become rock stars on wheels, passionate about a sport that combines athleticism, showmanship, fierce competition, and a mischievous good time.

* A wine tasting compliments of Veritas Vineyard
*Gold Leaf Lager Beer compliments of Devils Backbone Brewing Company
*Four types of barbecue, (including goat) raised on Black Eagle Farm and prepared by the Colleen Deli
*Music featuring Nelson’s own Byron Massie
Most of the local farm markets in Nelson continue into the final weeks of October.

We first told you on Monday about the Nelson County, Virginia duo, Hobojac, and their plans to hit the road in November, along with the release of their latest CD, One Word No “K”. We finally got our hands on the actual CD and it’s very nice. Nice artwork, photography and sounds great! These guys have knocked it out of the park. Andy Waldeck, also of Nelson County, provided additional instrumentation and production of the new CD release.
We’ve been promoting the new songs here each morning in Tommy’s Weather.
Jacob Allen & John Howard of Nelson County make up Hobojac and most recently played at The Crozet Music Festival last weekend.
Hear songs from their CD over in Tommy’s Weather all week long!
