July 25- 26, 2014, Weekend at a Glance

Our family has had a full week! I haven’t had time to sit down at the computer until today, much less put together a comprehensive list of events and activities like I did last weekend.  I have, however, pulled together a few things that I know of off the top of my head. Below is information about local events in Southern Virginia that will keep you relaxed, entertained, or both this weekend. If I have left anything off, simply leave the event info in the comments for others to see. Thanks, and have a safe and fun weekend! Best, Erin
