ALL ABOARD! FOR ASHLAND TRAIN DAY by Angela Weight

hether you’re a railroad enthusiast, a history buff, a festival follower or a parent of choo choo train obsessed little ones, we’ve got the perfect autumn event pulling into a station near you. On Saturday, November 4th, rain or shine, people from all over the state will throw on their striped overalls, red bandannas and conductors’ caps and converge on downtown Ashland, for Train Day 2017. What better place to pay homage to America’s most revered mode of transport than an RVA hamlet built along the tracks! Since its first run over a decade ago, this free event, which celebrates trains both full-sized and model-sized, has continued to gain momentum each year. “It connects generations of people and links the past to the present,” explains Suzanne Hemingway, event volunteer and owner of Tiny Tim’s Trains and Toys (104 S. Railroad Ave.; TrainAndToyStore.com) in downtown Ashland. While Ashland Train Day boasts entertainment for every age group, children, especially, have a great time riding the Teddy Bear Express, viewing and playing with

model railroads and Lego displays, palling around with mascots Cinder and Tinder Bear and getting punches on their Train Day scavenger hunt tickets. Hemingway says the scavenger hunt is a favorite among youngsters. And this year, she will have a thousand prizes at Tiny Tim’s Trains and Toys for those who complete their ticket card punches. While Train Day is great fun, it’s also educational. “I’ve heard people say that trains are old fashioned, but they have no idea how much technology is involved in operating them,” points out Hemingway. “The average parent doesn’t think of trains in terms of science, math, engineering or the small motor coordination and art of making miniatures.” This event offers lots of hands-on STEAM curriculum learning opportunities. National rail lines like CSX and Amtrak also sponsor and play a part in Ashland Train Day, promoting Operation Lifesaver and track safety information. “It has definitely become an important rail safety event,” says Hemingway. Ashland Train Day includes all the classic components that every festival should have - great food, music and entertainment plus a few opportunities you don’t get every daylike listening to songs and stories about riding the rails. Matthew Dodd, a well-known storyteller and musician, has been playing Train Day for years. Dressed in old-timey railroad attire and accompanied by his banjo and harmonica, Dodd takes his audience on a journey through time, sharing locomotive legends and lore. Also on this year’s roster is musician Jim Duckett. His country- and folk-themed original songs have made him a local favorite. “I love playing for Ashland Train Day,” says Duckett. “There’s always so much to see and do. It’s great to see families come and enjoy themselves while learning about Ashland’s rich history and why it has earned the name, ‘The Center Of The Universe!’” Volunteers assure that there will be ample parking in nearby lots, with shuttles to take people to and from the events. And yes, attendees are encouraged to come dressed in railroad-themed attire. For more details, visit AshlandTrainDay.com.

“Commonwealth Landcare did an excellent job on my lawn.

They arrived on time, worked hard, cleaned up and the results were wonderful.” BRUCE BOULTON - Richmond, VA

Licensed & Insured

here’s a new street about to open in Hallsley, Chesterfield County’s prestigious residential community and one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the entire Metro Richmond area. This new street is somewhat different from the other lovely tree-lined roadways that lead through the community. This is the Street of Hope. So, just what what makes the Street of Hope different? It’s certainly not in the quality or the aesthetics of the new homes. Indeed, the Street of Hope will offer some of the most beautifully designed homes on the market. Eight of Hallsley’s most respected custom builders have partnered with East West Communities, the developers of Hallsley, to create this first-ever Southern Living inspired Community Street of Hope. “There are eight furnished designer models that are all Southern Living home plans – never before built in Hallsley,” says Connie Pollard, Senior Vice President of Marketing for East West Communities. “We can’t wait to see these Lowcountry and coastal cottage homes come to life!” However, the differences go well beyond the fact that prospective homebuyers and others will have a chance to tour homes that they’ve never before seen in Hallsley. The most important distinction is that the Street of Hope is “paved” with the noble goal of raising $700,000. Explaining the purpose of this ambitious project, Pollard says, “East West Communities is hosting the 2017 Street of Hope to benefit research and education at the VCU Massey Cancer Center and to provide educational opportunities for underprivileged Richmond area youths who wish to attend the VCU School of Business. This event is a vehicle for our business partners to give back to the Richmond community in a combined effort to make a significant difference.” The proceeds, Pollard says, will come from sponsorships, ticket sales, a Home of Hope, and special events that are planned to showcase the beautiful new homes that line the Street, which opens to the public on Saturday, October 21 and runs through Sunday November 5th. The admission is just $10 for adults. Children 12 and under are admitted at no charge. (To purchase tickets, see contact information below.) In addition to touring the homes, visitors will have an opportunity to shop at the Street of Hope Marketplace and to enjoy creative cuisine from Cafe Caturra and some of the area’s most popular food trucks. A Realtor preview breakfast will be held on October 19, and a special VIP Gala and Live Auction is scheduled for the following night. The gala not only offers an opportunity to take a sneak peek at the beautiful homes, but to enjoy hors d’oeuvres, an open bar, live entertainment from the Atlanta-based Perfect 10 Band and to bid on some amazing items including gourmet kitchen appliances, a child’s dream playhouse, a Napa Valley or Italian getaway and much more. Tickets are $100 per person and are expected to sell out well in advance. Special themed events are planned during the 17-day run, including Concerts of Hope on both of the Thursday evenings with Three Sheets to the Wind appearing on October 26 and Fat Elvis band on November 2. See the website for a calendar of events. “The Street of Hope brings the latest in new home technology with trending new home finishes together in a fun-filled atmosphere for the whole family to enjoy,” says Pollard. “There are concerts, gourmet food trucks, a marketplace shopping experience and weekend entertainment. And it’s all for a great cause.” For tickets, event schedule and more information, visit StreetOfHope.com.
