Culpeper Eagles looking for members ➤ New Market Entertainment offering free membership to first 75 men and women

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Culpeper’s newest club is looking for members and for the first year, it’s free to join.

The Culpeper Eagles have partnered with New Market Entertainment to offer free membership to the first 75 men and 75 women that join the club.

Tom Whittaker, Va. Worth State President and a member of the Fredericksburg Eagles, said that so far 27 men and 12 women have taken the club up on their offer.

“Culpeper needs an Eagles, every county needs an Eagles,” Whittaker said.

Whittaker said the Eagles raises money for charities through raffles, pull ticket games and “they have a good time doing it.”

There are Eagles clubs in 42 states and every province in Canada, with 27 clubs in Virginia.

“I had talked about this for years,” Whittaker said. “Every

president wants a new club to start during his year. This one started about three years ago, trying to organize one. One of the other presidents tried and we didn’t get a growth.”

New Market Entertainment marketing specialist Kevin Bell said that his organization will cover the $50 fee for new members for the first year. Membership after that will cost $30 a year.

“We’re all about charities all over Virginia,” Kevin Bell said.

“When we find out a charity is looking to open up in a town, we’re more than willing to lend our services. Here, we split all the profits with all the charities. Members know that a portion of their funds will go back to the charity.”

Mary and Robbie Wilson were Eagle Presidents in Maryland, but recently moved to Virginia to help Mary’s mother. Now living in Broad Run, they are helping lead the charge for the establishment of a Culpeper chapter.

“What we’ve found so far is that a lot of people in Culpeper want to help the community,” Wilson said.

Whittaker said Fredericksburg is the largest building in the state and they have the second largest membership. They recently

The Culpeper Eagles meets the second and fourth Wednesday at Pepper's Grill in Culpeper. The new organization is looking for members.

The first 75 men and women will have their first year paid by New Market Entertainment. increased their membership to 1,700 men and 1,100 women with the help of New Market Entertainment.

“We have their machines at Fredericksburg,” Whittaker said.

“In Fredericksburg, they paid for open enrollment for new members and we took in 425 new members in 30 days.”

Culpeper must first have 75 men and 75 women join and then they can start looking into getting a building and a charter, Whittaker said.

Wilson has set up an email, culpepereagles@gmail.com for interested parties and the group meets the second and fourth Wednesday at Pepper’s Grill at 7 p.m.

Youth interest and assessment study finds 'no silver bullet' solution The Culpeper Wellness Foundation recently released the results of its Culpeper Youth Interest and Needs Assessment, concluding there's no "silver bullet" solution to getting more local youth involved in activites and away from hanging out at home.

The study, which surveyed a total of 397 middle and high school students, and 404 adults from Culpeper County and the town, went on to find that at least a third of the studnets are very interested in lowcost opportunities, hanging out inside and interacting with friends away from home in a less-structured homelike setting.

The study concluded that moving forward "Parents and youth, as well as service providers, must be active parts of planning of any new recreation opportunities for at least three reasons: (1) they are the consumers of the opportunities and know what they would like to do, (2) getting middle and high school students out of their houses and to a new place will be challenging – even with the exact right set of activities and amenities, and (3) service providers and decision makers may have information about new activities and opportunities that have not occurred to residents."

The Culpeper Wellness Foundation contracted with Partnerships for Strategic Impact™ to facilitate an objective and inclusive process to assess the needs and desires of local middle and high school youth, focusing on the kinds of activities and hangout spaces they would use. The conclusions and recommendations resulting from this assessment will guide the Culpeper Wellness Foundation’s investments going forward and support the whole community around planning for youth.

Germanna receives grant to help with heavy equipment job openings

CULPEPER YOUTH SPOTLIGHT

Abby Stern

(Editor's note: This is weekly series highlighting members of Culpeper's Youth Council. To join Culpeper Youth, go to www.culpeperyouth.org to apply.)

Grade: 11 What is culpeper youth? The description of Culpeper Youth is a youth organization that works within our community to solve problems, assist at events, and be a voice for the youth of Culpeper.

But to me it is so much more. Culpeper Youth is a place where I can voice my opinion without fear of judgement or hate. It is a place where I get to make a difference in my community. It is a place where I feel safe.

Culpeper Youth is making a difference in our community. It is leading discussions that are often times are not brought up. It is giving youth the opportunity to be leaders. Culpeper Youth is an organization that every young person should be apart of.

Germanna Community ’s Center for Workforce and Community Education, in partnership with Lord Fairfax Community College and Piedmont Virginia Community College, was recently awarded a two-year grant to train and certify heavy equipment operators.

It’s part of the Virginia Community College System’s FastForward program that prepares students to fill jobs in fields in which skilled workers are in great demand.

Germanna received $700,000 of a $1.4 million grant split between the schools.

Much of the money will go toward paying for a virtual simulator lab for training heavy equipment operators.

“Heavy equipment operators are in high demand in our service region,” said Martha O’Keefe, Associate Vice President for Workforce & Professional Development at Germanna. “We’ll be working closely with area employers, community partners and potential students to provide career pathways into the heavy equipment operation industry.”

O’Keefe said the classes will start at Germanna in the spring of 2019. She said students will have access both in the classroom and online, will participate in hands-on training via virtual heavy equipment simulation labs and will earn industry certifications.

In addition, heavy equipment operator apprenticeship opportunities will be available for interested students and employers, she said.

With the third largest statemaintained road system in the U.S. and roughly 2.2 million miles of paved roadways, Virginia has a strong, demonstrated need for skilled heavy equipment operators. OKeefe said.

Annual earning potential for skilled operators averages about $43,000 per year and can grow to $70,000 or more per year, OKeefe said.

Chinese delegation visits ASWB office in Culpeper ➤ Association of Social Work Boards constructing new building in town

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer A delegation of social workers from Hangzhou City, China, recently came to Culpeper to learn about social work regulation, supervision, and practice in the United States.

Twenty people, including the deputy director general of the Hangzhou Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, visited the Association of Social Work Boards at its headquarters office in Southridge Park-

way, bringing one member who was able to act as translator.

This meeting was the second outreach to a Chinese delegation for ASWB. The office for the association, which develops and maintains the social work licensing exam used in 50 states, Washington, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and several Canadian provinces, has been in Culpeper since 1989.

“It’s very important that they came to visit us and also other social work organizations in the D.C. area,” ASWB Chief Executive Officer Mary Jo Monahan said. “They are all social workers and they monitor the social work profession ➤ See ASWB, Page 7

BIZ BIO The People of Wellspring: Cindy Napier, NP Sometimes bad news turns into good news. Sometimes it even turns into a career you love.

That’s what happened to Cindy Napier, a family nurse practitioner who recently joined the Wellspring Health Services Team. For Napier, her intended path wasn’t the path she wound up walking—and that, as the poet says, has made all the difference.

After graduating from UVA with her Bachelors degree in nursing, Napier worked 15 years as a bedside nurse before deciding to return to UVA to become a nurse practitioner.

That’s when the seemingly bad news arrived.

“I applied for the nurse practitioner program in women’s health, but it was discontinued the year I was about to enroll,” Napier explained. “Fortunately, I was offered admission to the family practice program, and that’s where I found what I love doing. So I guess you could say my career picked me.”

With 18 years of experience as an FNP, Napier brings a high level of expertise to the Wellspring

team. “I see folks of all ages, and I especially enjoy women’s health and providing care to children,” Napier said.

“I truly enjoy the variety of patients Cindy Napier, NP I see.”

Napier may be new to Wellspring, but she has never been far from home. Her family moved to Madison when she was 10, and she’s lived no farther away than Charlottesville all her life.

“Wellspring attracted me because I share their commitment to community-based care,” Napier said.

“I love that I have an opportunity to help care for a community I’ve grown up in, and that I can be part of a system that makes it easy for people to get their needs met locally.”

Now settled in at her restored family farmhouse in Madison County, Napier is once again soaking up the country life where, as she says, “the sense of community is everywhere.”

Ruby Henderson, 2, pets a cow at Culpeper County High School's Agriculture Showcase Sept. 15.

CCHS agriculture showcase demonstrates hands on skills

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Inside the wood shop at Culpeper County High School, Floyd T. Binns agriculture teacher Carly Pavan shouts encouragement to the two young men pulling back and forth on a cross cut saw.

“You’re doing great, keep going,” she yelled.

Pavan, a first-year teacher at Culpeper County Public Schools, is bringing her love of timbersports to the classroom.

A Virginia Tech graduate, Pavan was a member of the forestry club at the college and competed in timbersports. At first glance, some might be amazed that the small-statured teacher could hang with the men, but she earned her teammates respect and admiration by helping the team place second in competitions.

“I was just drawn to it,” Pavan said. “I never thought I could do it. I competed with the cross cut and it’s just very fascinating. I like the challenge and being one of the only females. It was just the challenge of being such a little person, I liked knowing I could compete with the guys and I could still do it well.”

Now, she’s teaching a new generation of Future Farmers of America to appreciate timbersports and the logging industry.

Dakota Waggler and Robert Upton, students at Floyd T. Binns, sawed back and forth on a log during Culpeper County High School’s agriculture showcase as class-

mates sat on it to keep it steady. With a final grunt, they sawed through the log with the cut piece making a satisfying thump on the ground.

“My dad did it (FFA) when he was in school and I just really wanted to do it,” Waggler said. “I help my mom with doing tree work, so I wanted to do something that had to do with tree work so I started doing this.”

Pavan said that CCPS will have a team competing in timbersports at field day at the state fair Oct. 4. They’ll compete in the two-man (or woman) crosscut and the bow saw. In the FFA, they learn how to do the log throw and log roll - where they use camp hooks to roll a log through a path, flip it over and bring it back.

“This is actually a very big sport, they actually run it up to the professional level,” Pavan said.

Introducing the students to the logging industry through sports is key in helping them learn about the industry and introducing them to a career they may excel in.

“Think about all the products we have, you don’t even realize how much comes from trees,” Pavan said. “This is connecting them with that and seeing the labor that goes with it as well.”

CCHS’ agriculture day is about teaching the community about the careers and projects the FFA are working on and reminding them that there are options outside of go➤ See Agriculture, Page 7

Culpeper Times • September 20-26, 2018

➤ Agriculture, from Page 6 ing to a four-year college.

“These kids, in this shop right here, they get those hands on skills,” Pavan said. “Instead of having college as an option, they have another career where they could go work in a shop or in the timberyard. This teaches them there other options out there.

Not every kid is going to go to college and that is OK. We need more out there that are doing the hard labor and this is teaching them that.”

She stressed it’s not just for boys, using her experience at Virginia Tech as an example.

The next room over, Eastern View senior Shiyenne St. Clair helped visitors learn how to weld on the school’s virtual welder.

Not just for boys “I think it’s a lot of fun, I really like welding,” St. Clair said. “When you use this (the virtual welder) you get into the motion and it’s easier. It’s really spot on, but it’s harder than actual welding itself.”

CCHS agriculture teacher Ted Delano said it’s the goal of the FFA to show the community what students are learning in the classroom.

“We take the academics and we put them to use,” Delano said. “They still have math and Geometry and all these key things that

Local News they learn in school, they have to use them to construct the things in the lab.”

This year, the agriculture showcase dovetailed with the annual Harvest Days Farm Tour and Delano hopes that next year the school will be a stop on the farm tour as this is where it all starts.

“I think it’s key, you want to see how the farms work and we educate students on how to go and do that,” Delano said.

“Whether it's the business side of running a farm, or how to take care of the equipment or how to handle the animals, you learn the basics here.”

EVHS senior Jordan Smith also learned his basics from his dad, working with small engines and he and his classmates showed off some of the small engines they were working on at a booth at the showcase.

Smith recently enlisted in the U.S. Army to be a diesel mechanic.

“I know everything there is to know about gas engines, I want to take the next step,” Smith said.

He’s worked with his dad to rebuild a 1968 Fastback from the ground up with a 408 stroker motor in it, and now he’s looking forward to turning his hobby into a career.

“It’s my happy place,” Smith said. “When I get home, I can get away. I love the feeling of accomplishment.”

➤ ASWB, from Page 4 in China. They came here to ask us how we do it, to get a different perspective. We’re very glad they came to look at how social work is licensed and regulated in the United States.”

The Chinese visitors incorporated Culpeper into a trip planned to exchange information about the profession of social work as well as to make contact with American organizations representing social work professionals and social work regulatory boards.

They traveled out by bus and were invited for lunch as well as a description of what ASWB and its member regulatory boards do.

Mr. Huamin Cheng, deputy director general of the Hangzhou Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, China, led the delegation that included Ms. Yue Zhao, chairman of the Social Worker Association of Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City, and other social work community deputy directors, directors, and social workers.

Being from different countries, it was interesting for the ASWB to share how the United States regulates the social work industry compared to China.

“Government regulation really depends on how the governments are organized,” Monahan said. “They tend to do their regulation through their governmental social service system. They don’t have a private system. Here in the United States, we have separated that and we have a regulatory system that is state based.”

The ASWB office in Culpeper has become a destination for visiting delegations to visit, in 2014 a group from Canada came down to learn about social work regulation and in 2007 a party from South Korea visited Culpeper.

“It’s good for us that they’re seeking us out for expertise,” Monahan said.

Visiting delegations helps boost Culpeper’s economy and raise awareness of the community in the social work circle, Monahan said, and it has helped anchor ASWB in Culpeper. They are building a new 30,000 square foot, two story office building off of Chandler Street, near the intersection of McDevitt Drive.

“That is going to have even more of an economic impact,” Monahan said.

ASWB first came to Culpeper in 1989 with a staff of five. Now, they have grown to employ 52. They work throughout the community through their philanthropic operations - working with Pamper Me Pink and Bowling for Seniors just to name a few.

Hungrier, hungrier caterpillar WILD IDEAS

Brown marmorated stink bugs have started showing up on the outside of my house, right on cue. Around the autumnal equinox every year (Sept.

20 this year), these Asian invaders start looking for places to spend the winter.

Also coinciding with the bugs’ arrival have been interesting, if scary, articles about how global warming affects the impact of insects on crops. A team of researchers at the University of Washington (UW) recently published in Science magazine (science.sciencemag.org) the results of a model they developed to try to determine this impact. While insects now consume 5 to 20 percent of

Pam Owen

our crops, the model indicates that, as global warming ramps up, so does the metabolism and reproduction of some important insect populations, and their consumption of the world’s crops.

Not all insects are likely to benefit from global warming. Unless they can disperse, some species in the tropics that are already working at the limit of their heat tolerance may start disappearing. Meanwhile, the metabolism and reproduction of insects at higher latitudes, which have been working at the edge of their cold tolerance, may rev up.

It is in those cooler latitudes that some of the crops we humans depend on the most are grown. Wheat, rice and corn, for example, may be especially hard hit, with losses increasing by 10 to 25 percent for each degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) of temperature rise.

the average global temperature is expected to rise 2 C by the end of the century. While consumption of some crops is expected to level off, the hit to other crops will likely continue going up in tandem with temperature rises.

According to other articles in Science about the UW study, the researchers acknowledge that many factors that could ameliorate the situation were not considered in their model. These include the response by natural predators of insects to warming, the possibility of insects changing their diets as temperatures rise, and changes in farming that develop to meet the challenge. But if the model does hold true, we won’t be able to poison our way out of the situation predicted without endangering ourselves and other species on the planet.

There is one way to beat the cropconsuming bugs: eat them. Most are excellent sources of protein and other nutrients. Humans in 113 countries traditionally insects, according to Wageningen University & Research, a Dutch organization that collects data on edible insects (and spiders). It lists 2,111 species around the world that are known to be edible. Considering how little we know about insects, the number could be higher. According to a Smithsonian article (tinyurl.com/wisi-bugs), an estimated 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects, organized into

Home & Garden

900,000 species, are known to inhabit our planet. They represent “approximately 80 percent” of the world's animal species and the largest biomass among terrestrial animals.

Globally, according to WUR, the most frequently consumed insect species are beetles, caterpillars, bees, wasps and ants, followed by grasshoppers, locusts and crickets, cicadas, leafhoppers and bugs, termites, dragonflies, flies and other species. (For the list of countries and species, go to tinyurl.com/wi-wur.)

I already have a recipe for cicadas I received from a local entomologist, which he sent to me in conjunction with my writing about the emergence of Brood II of our 17-year periodical cicadas in 2013. I’m sure it can be applied to our annual cicadas as well.

The Smithsonian Channel series “Bug Bites” offers more suggestions, as does author David George Gordon in “The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook.” The Atlantic magazine podcast “Crazy/Genius” also has an episode coming up on “Meatless Meat,” in which Mark Post, inventor of the first lab-grown burger, and Andrew Brentano, of the cricket-harvesting start-up Tiny Farms, discuss how embryonic meat and insect-based foods could save billions of other animals.

To save crops, will we soon be eating insects such as this female camel cricket? rich in fat and protein. Like many orthopterans, they’re known for their ferocious and diverse appetites, pretty much eating anything organic but are otherwise harmless to humans.

Camel crickets (in the insect family Rhaphidophoridae) are named for their dromedary-like shape but are also known as cave crickets because they prefer cave-like conditions: cool and damp. Rather than singing, these crickets find mates by accidentally bumping into them during their daily roaming.

So, in the future, will the old saw “eat an apple a day” be replaced by “eat a cricket a day” as the planet continues to heat up? Only time and rising temperatures will tell. © 2018 Pam Owen Pam Owen is a writer, editor, photographer, and passionate nature conservationist living in Rappahannock County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

was he at heart? Can that question even be answered?

➤ Curtain Calls, from Page 10 black nightclubs to barrier-breaking hero of his race, the Jackie Robinson of stand-up.

Crediting Hugh Hefner with bringing him to the Chicago Playboy Club and his first white audiences (in this case, a hostile group of Southern conventioneers), Gregory quickly honed his gift for back-slam humor and crowd control. Segregation is his constant topic, even while jabbing fun at the fact that “the back of the bus is where the emergency exits are.”

One of his best lines begins with the story of seating himself at a diner and being informed by the waitress that “We don’t serve colored people.”

To which Gregory responded, “Well, I don’t eat colored people. Bring me a chicken.”

Acknowledging a heckler who yells an n-word that I won’t print here, Gregory encourages the man, saying that he gets an extra fifty dollars every time it happens. In a moment of confrontation, he commands the audience to stand and yell the word at him. We stand, in total silence, of course.

This marks the beginning of the ‘un-funny’ Gregory, whose bitterness began to outrace his gift for humor, and once he had the attention of white America, could use both knowing that he would be heard. The trickle became a stream and then a

At a precipitous moment in his career, he found the courage to tell Jack Paar – THE Jack Paar – that no, he would not appear on The Tonight Show unless he were invited to sit on the couch and talk afterward, something no other black performer had been asked to do. Paar relented.

Christopher Barreca’s minimalistic set along with Stephen Strawbridge’s finely tuned lighting moves the action easily from downstage nightclub microphone, to backstage dressing room with his whiskey bottle, cigarettes, and telephone. Two chairs make a taxi. Two chairs and a small table become an interview room at the Hungry i.

“Turn Me Loose”, the title, was taken from Medgar Evers’ last words when he was gunned down in his driveway in Mississippi in 1963. Dick Gregory was supposed to be with him that night, but was called home to Missouri at the news of his infant son’s death. Gregory would see that close call as a sign that his life had to be spared for the work he meant to do.

The script is a carefully culled love letter to Gregory, focusing on

his strength and unique spot in the Civil Rights movement, while barely grazing his extraordinary inclination for radical positions.

Once obese and a heavy smoker and drinker, he embraced a life of extreme veganism along with regular fasting, and reprimanded his fellow blacks for their bad habits. Railing privately at Pres, his absent father, Gregory himself found time to father eleven children but no time to spend rearing them. And a nearly cellularlevel suspicion of white establishment was surely at the root of his endless conspiracy theories, from the moon landing to 9-11.

One begins to suspect that a lifetime as an icon in the Civil Rights movement bred in him an incapacity for seeing progress which might suggest a waning of his own importance. The older, halting

Gregory barely mentions Obama or any other politically successful blacks, and has no use for conservatives OR liberals no matter how often the progressive audience of well-heeled whites and blacks clap, laugh, and signal their virtue. Whatever else he was, he was a man of courage, surprises, and extremes.

Mr. Gibson communicates the very soul of this man with adroit timing and polished subtlety. We are certain at every moment that, whoever it is, this is the “real” Dick Gregory, the man of whom Richard Pryor once said, “He was the greatest, and he was the first. Somebody had to break down that door. He was the one.”

TECHNOLOGY Smartphone Extravaganza DATA DUMP

It’s that time of few years, there were significant enhancements in cellular networks, year again when major smartphone cameras, screen quality, and the formation of app stores. Along with manufacturers technological enhancements comes an roll out their increase in price. For example, last new models and year’s iPhone X cost Apple $389.50 try to convince and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 everyone that $369.00 in production costs. The gross the phone they profit margins for both manufacturers bought last year were just over 60%. The iPhone 3G is out of date and cost Apple $173 to build. already needs to be replaced. So far There was a time when cellular this year, the flagship contenders are network upgrades alone were enough the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the just to make me switch phones. The only announced iPhone XS, and the soon time I waited in a release date line to be announced Samsung Galaxy 10, for a new phone was the iPhone and Google Pixel 3.

The internet speed But have innovations leapt forward enhancements from 2G to 3G to 4G enough to warrant you spending up to LTE were well worth the upgrades. $1400 on a new phone that you just But over the past few years, the spent over $1000 on a year ago? enhancements to our cellular phones No, not in my opinion. remind me of when the computer Smartphones really became market peaked.

would never use it. It doesn’t take a high-end processor to browse Facebook. I am also sure there are some videophiles out there that can immediately tell the difference between 720P and 1080P pictures, but on my 5” screen, I can’t.

The new phone becomes more of a status symbol then something to spend your hard-earned money on. Do you upgrade your laptop every year?

A major marketing tactic that smartphone manufacturers use as a selling point is the rainbow of colors that they are available in. The new iPhone flagships come in a new gold this year and their “budget” model phones come in 6 assorted colors. The rumor is the soon to be announced Galaxy 10 will have 5 colors. But I don’t understand why phone colors are even a selling point. I have yet to come across anyone that does not have their super expensive smartphone in a case that completely hides the phone color. Shouldn’t we get more excited about the phone case colors?

Another thing to keep in mind as the price of the phones increased, so has the cost of the support. The new iPhone XS Max AppleCare+ costs

$199 paid in full for just two years of support or you can choose another option that costs an additional $9.99 per month and you still must pay a fee per incident on top of that.

What do I look for before upgrading? This list can be applied to pretty much any tech device.

1. Does my current device have problems affecting daily use?

2. How old is the device?

3. Is the manufacturer still supporting the device thru software upgrades?

4. As third parties upgrade their apps, do they still run normally?

5. Are any of the new features must have, that would really enhance dayto-day life?

Our phones are unquestionably our most utilized daily device. They allow us to communicate, conduct business, and entertain.

In the new batch of phones this year, I haven’t seen anything earth shattering for me to advise anyone that bought a phone in the past couple of years to upgrade. Rumor has it that the next big jump will be the rollout of 5G, but don’t expect that until 2020.

Event attendees can look forward to live Americana Music, the best in regional BBQ, craft beer, Virginia cider, lawn games and fun for families, and an added bonus for wine lovers too with carefully selected wines to enjoy! Downtown Culpeper, a Great American Main Street Award winner, is known for its natural beauty and historic charm and is the perfect stage for this fall festival of BBQ, Beer, and the Community!

Entertainment includes live Americana music by two phenomenal bands, The Ghost of Paul Revere and Gold Top County Ramblers. The day’s festivities open up with the "rockin’ new-age bluegrass" sound of Gold Top County Ramblers. The Ghost of Paul Revere keep the Block Party going with “robustly played, masterful amalgamation of bluegrass, folk, and gospel for the Millennial Generation... The Ghost of Paul Revere prove that superior roots music can come from anywhere. For the Hop, the festival will serve up Downtown’s very own Far Gohn Brewing Company and Beer Hound Brewery craft beer selections. A variety of Virginia craft beer including Blue Mountain, Strangeways, and Devil’s Backbone join the line-up, and refreshing Bold Rock Cider in a variety of flavors.

As if it couldn't get any better, wine lovers will enjoy a selection of hand-picked wines that make perfect pairings. CRI guarantees there will be plenty of craft beer, wine and cider to suit anyone’s taste!

Now for the hog! We have four regional pitmasters bringing their A game to the event. Burnt Ends BBQ, Divine Swine BBQ & Deli, Spanky’s BBQ, and Uncle Elders will each feature their typical delicious menus along with $2 sample serving options.

“Our team has been hard a work to create this amazing Block Party for our community. We love seeing the streets of Culpeper filled for events downtown...so much so that we decided to create the perfect event to enjoy the beautiful Virginia fall season," said Jon Krawchuk, Hop N Hog Committee Chairperson. "What more could you ask for than a perfect day downtown full of beer, wine, great food and
