OCKFISH VALLEY COMMUNITY CENTER PART OF 2ND ANNUAL DESIGN MARATHON

The Rockfish Valley Community Center (RVCC) has been selected as one of eleven non-profit organizations to benefit from the Second Annual Design Marathon, co-sponsored by the Charlottesville Community Design Center (CCDC) and the Charlottesville Area Community Fund (CACF). The Design Marathon is an annual event in which professional graphic designers, architects and landscape architects give back to the community by providing pro-bono design services to deserving Charlottesville area non-profits. RVCC hopes to emerge from the Design Marathon with an exciting new landscape and structural plan that takes full advantage of its ten acres and seventy year-old building. These plans will be created based on the needs and feedback of the RVCC community. The Design Marathon is happening on Friday, October 2 from 10 am to 10 pm at the CCDC (105 N. 5th St. on the Downtown Mall) and the public is welcome from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Please come out and show your support for RVCC and the volunteer designers who are helping us create a great new vision for the future.

After readings touching 80° yesterday, much cooler temps are on the way for the coming week as September winds up and October begins on Thursday. A brief thundershower Monday dropped .04 inches of rain here at our flagship NCL-Nelson County Life Weatheret Station in the Rockfish Valley, while NCL-Wintergreen Nature Foundation up at 3500 feet on Devil’s Knob got exactly 1/4 of an inch of rain. The mountain topped out at 69° yesterday at 1:30 PM, but quickly began dropping after a cold front accompanied by the fast moving thundershower rolled through. Paul Purpura grabbed the beautiful shot above from one of the slopes over at Wintergreen Resort. Believe it or not, it won’t be much longer before those slopes will be covered in snow!

The remainder of the week looks generally sunny with fall like temperatures. Some 30’s for overnight lows will even be felt by folks living up on the mountains as fall begins to take hold across Central Virginia. The best chances for rain move back in by next weekend.
