From Hollywood Cemetery and the FaceBook event page:
Join us for an annual tradition that dates back to the 1800s! Pack a picnic basket, bring a blanket or chairs, and relax to sounds of great entertainment in one of Richmond’s most beautiful settings! A hot dog truck and ice cream truck will be on hand. Trolley tours will also be available.
The picnic is free to attend, but we do ask that you RSVP in advance. Please email nshepherd@hollywoodcemetery.org to make reservations.
This Saturday, starting at 8 am is the 5th Annual 5K Run/Walk to Remember.
From Virginia War Memorial website:
Join us as we honor and remember the sacrifice of our United States military both past and present. The 5K race starts and finishes at the Memorial with a special Kids Fun Run. Memorial flags, each with the name of a deceased veteran or KIA, are placed at the finish line, reminding everyone of the purpose of this event. All funds benefit the Virginia War Memorial Foundation’s education programs.
Description in Richmond Family Magazine:
Join hundreds of active servicemen and women in uniform for this walk/run. The course starts and ends at Virginia War Memorial and includes a trek through Hollywood Cemetery and Oregon Hill.
