Forest Farmer’s Market

About the Cover Bulls Steakhouse was established in 1991 as a casual family steakhouse with the main focus on personalized service and exceptional food. Owners Kevin Middleton and Jim Lemon insist on giving personal attention to every guest that walks in the door. They believe that “service” isn’t just about taking the guest’s order and serving their food. Unlike the chain restaurants, at Bulls the owners and managers walk the dining room, checking on every guest to make sure that they are enjoying their dining experience. It’s the attention to the small things that gives the guest the feeling of importance.

New Gift Shop Built On Wreathes Ten years ago Forest resident Nickie Gentry never thought she would eventually be opening a gift store. She had started making wreathes for friends and family, even hanging some of them at her husband’s dental office. But when a space became available last May at the corner of Forest Rd. (Rt. 221) and Thomas Jefferson Rd. (Rt. 811) in the same building as Forest Family Dentistry, she decided to showcase her talent. One thing led to another. The walls needed re-painting to better match the wreathes, and why not offer all-season gift baskets as well? For Nickie Gentry that matter, there really wasn’t a true gift store in Forest featuring new items, so why not also offer home décor, ladies accessories, wine and tasting, micro beers and condiments? So it happened, and Nickie is proud of the service she now offers to Forest area residents. Her goal is to produce that “wow” in the eyes of the gift receiver. Popular items available at Divine Designs and Delights include Christmas home decorations along with her now famous wreathes, jewelry (including Re-Imagine Fashion), purses, custom gift baskets for any occasion, scarves, leg warmers and the unique and popular Lolita line of glassware. Free gift wrapping is available too.

The gourmet snacks, sauces and preserves are well suited for the Virginia-made wines and craft beers. To top things off, Nickie’s daughter Courtney, a senior at Lynchburg College, started her own cupcake and confection business that she plans to expand after graduation. In the meantime, her treats, including cupcakes and cakes, are also available at Divine Designs and Delights, a store appropriately named.

All Things Photographic Two former camera store managers operate and manage the new (since May) Lynchburg Photoworks, located on Forest Rd. across from Express Lane Exxon (in the Poplar Forest shopping center next to On Second Thought).

Ribbon-cutting gala with Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce

Rob Wheeler, Ruthie Honig and staff offer specialized print services, photography classes and studio space, unique camera supplies and accessories, and special lens and camera rentals.

A host of specialty products are also available, like custom cutting boards and mousepads. Different types of surfaces can be used to transfer images, including slate, canvas, pearl and metallic.

Educational options range from customized one-on-one classes to group classes, encompassing all levels of photographic experience. They even offer guided photo tours in the Lynchburg area, and are always available for recommendations. Studio space is available for various backgrounds, such as for Christmas or passport photos.

Forest resident Rob Wheeler is a graduate of Bob Jones University and worked with Cardinal Camera for over three years. Ruthie Honig formerly managed Ritz Camera at the mall.

New Academy of the Arts Open An academy of performing arts opened in Forest last January (‘14), in the Briarwood Business Center on Forest Rd. (Rt. 221). Directed by wellknown musician and former adjunct professor at Liberty University Luis Mendez, Stage221 specializes in dance, voice and instrument instruction for students of all ages and backgrounds. Several instructors are now teaching about 180 adults and grade school students, most from the nearest school districts of Lynchburg, Bedford County and Campbell County. The staff at Stage221 is committed to providing the highest quality education possible, in a fun and friendly environment, and boast their own stage and theater for academic performances and the general public, which seats about 100. The theater is open to the public for “open mic” sessions every Thursday night from 7:30 pm. - 9 pm. ($3 at door). Recording and video studios are also available.

Dance instruction, especially in ballet and hiphop, is popular, and new classes, in several styles, form each week. Beginner Jazz is also available and popular. Many voice students are given the opportunity to compete locally and regionally in styles ranging from classical to contemporary, both sacred and secular. All students are taught the basic of vocal technique and then instructed in the musical styles of their choosing such as Broadway, pop, musical theater, jazz and classical. Students range from 3 to 73. Guitar students are trained in theory as well as technique in both classical and contemporary styles. Several times each year students can perform in a recital or concert. Some eventually move on to win scholarships for college. Piano students are trained in the classics as well as contemporary styles such as jazz, contemporary praise, and country. Theory, chords and sight reading are emphasized. Once trained, students are invited to perform at many functions in the community such as choir accompanists, wedding musicians and similar musical opportunities. Upcoming musical productions in early 2015 include The Fantastics and Jerry’s Girls. For more information, visit www.Stage221.com.

New Children’s Boutique Open What can a woman do when she has three children and notices that quality children’s clothing and maternity apparel are difficult to find around Lynchburg? Forest resident Trina Smith took matters into her own hands and eventually opened The Baby Giraffe children’s boutique (last August), where she offers plenty of things she couldn’t find when she needed them. “You might say I have an entrepreneurial spirit,” says Trina. “I really enjoy helping people find what they want. We take pride in our personalized service...and we’ve been well received.” Trina has a long history of helping the community in other ways, since she is also a registered nurse and has been a volunteer paramedic locally for decades. She acknowledges that none of her achievements

would be possible without the help and support she has received from her family. The Baby Giraffe offers a wide variety of choices, including popular brand products from Maison Chic, Elegant Baby, Angel Dear, Petit Ami, Bailey Boys and Silkberry Baby. The clothing sizes range from infant to size six, and specialty items include christening and dedication gowns, dressup tutus and birthday outfits. They also carry a large selection of children’s shoes, gifts, toys, Moses baskets, high quality maternity apparel and nursing bras. The Baby Giraffe is open Mon. - Sat., 10 am. - 6 pm. More information is below.

New Restaurant in Forest Square Doug Roh and his son Travis own and operate a new restaurant that opened last June. Bräuburgers Craft Burgers & Beer is located where Louise’s used to be, in the Forest Square shopping center next to Kroger. Focusing on fresh beef and high quality ingredients, Bräuburgers offers a modern and casual atmosphere with flat-screen TVs and craft beers from nearby breweries on tap using an advanced draft system. Besides their fresh Black-Angus Chuck Sirloin burgers, other favorites available include brats, franks, wings, BLTs, reuben sandwiches, grilled chicken sandwiches, and salads. For more information, see their ad on page 22.

Forest Gourmet Shop & Micro-Brewery Continue Growth

The popular Apocalypse Ale Works and next door neighbor Pints of Plenty are both experiencing strong growth. Pints of Plenty added Forest resident and former Kroger wine consultant and specialist Pegeen Griessmayer to the staff last March. Pegeen is the store wine buyer and offers wine tastings Tuesdays from 11am-3pm. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 am.-5 pm. Apocalypse Ale Works recently began canning their popular Golden Censer and Hoppocalypse brands to be shipped to Krogers and high-end Apple Market stores around Virginia. Their products continue to win state, national and international tasting contest awards. Improvements have been made and upgraded equipment has been added to the brewery. The beer garden behind the brewery has been extended. Despite the growth of Apocalypse Ale Works, proprietors Lee and Doug John are vowing to limit their operation so that their products stay in Virginia and they can maintain their Forest area roots.

“Fee Only” Primary Care Practice Now Open in Forest Think of a health club membership, like the YMCA, where you can spend as much time as you want for one low, monthly fee. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get the same type of unrestricted access to your nearby doctor…also for a low monthly fee? Dr. Douglas Farrago and his wife and office manager Debbie (formerly Debbie Miluszusky, a Forest native) are offering just that, from their location in the Forest Professional Park (across from Walgreens) off Forest Rd. (Rt. 221), in Forest.

The Farrago’s (front middle, holding the scissors) were recenty welcomed by the Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce.

Doug has practiced family medicine for 17 years, the last two at Med Express and Central VA Family Practice in New London.

Why are direct (pay), fee-only primary care practices becoming popular across the country? There are several reasons, but most important are the higher quality visits and affordability.
