Words from the Chamber

On Thursday night, Sept. 29, the first annual Appomattox Beef Festival will be held. Phillip Jamerson has done an outstanding job organizing this. Some have commented that the $50 price for full participation is too steep, but when one stops to analyze it, it does not appear so.

What would you pay for a meal at a restaurant providing you with 16 ounces of beef? By the time that one adds drinks, taxes and tip, $50 is definitely in the ballpark. Plus, you would be benefitting the Appomattox County Historical Society which does much to preserve our history and present it in a way to add to our touristic attractions. Hope that you can make it.

This past Saturday celebrated the dedication of the Dominion Energy Room at the Carver-Price Legacy Museum. This is just one step in the expansion of the museum that will continue to enhance its importance to our community. Please take the time to read additional coverage about the event elsewhere in this edition.
