On Sunday, historic Tredegar hosts the 4th Annual Support Virginia Green Tourism Oyster Roast. Raw, steamed, roasted, or fried, you pick or try them all with Virginia wines and brews. Bluegrass from Craig’s List Jerry. Kids area and views of the river by fire pits. Tickets are a bit pricey, starting at above $30, but they do include food and adult beverages. Proceeds go to the Virginia Green Travel Alliance, which supports the state’s voluntary program created to encourage green, environmental practices in the state’s tourism industry.
The last weekend of this busy month is even more busy, if that is possible. Hike for Kids, a fundraising event for the Blue Sky Fund, is this weekend and it has grown in stature. The purpose of the Blue Sky Fund is to increase the number of Richmond City Public School students that connect with nature.
From the event’s webpage:
Enjoy the challenge of our
3-mile (family-friendly!), 8-mile, or 14-mile
loops, each starting and ending at the Virginia War Memorial. Soak in unforgettable river views and the crisp autumn air while hiking for a good cause – celebrate the end of your hike with beer, food and fun festivities for the whole family!

Looking for a concrete way to restore some sanity to politics?
Turns out there’s a better way to vote. It’s called ranked choice voting, and it’s spreading nationwide. In ranked choice elections, you don’t just vote for one candidate. You get to rank the candidates from most to least favorite: your 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice, and so on. These “instant runoff” ballots let voters back their favorite candidates while ensuring that winners still earn majority support.
Cities across the country — from San Francisco to St. Paul to Santa Fe — use RCV, and in 2018 Maine became the first state to use ranked choice ballots statewide.
Virginia saw its first ranked choice legislation nearly clear the House of Delegates last spring, and FairVote Virginia is hard at work to see it through in 2019. Join us at Union Market in Richmond to debrief on our latest legislative efforts and learn how you can help bring RCV to VA.
5:30 PM – 6:30 PM,
Union Market
2306 Jefferson Ave, Richmond, Virginia 23223—
FairVote Virginia is VA’s chapter of the national FairVote movement to advance ranked choice voting. Visit our website at fairvoteva.org to learn more.
This community news site has proudly editorialized in favor of ranked choice voting for years now.
This event is sponsored by the Open High PTSA for both the school and neighbors in the community.
Not in Oregon Hill, but worth noting is a political rally planned nearby for Saturday. The Richmond Crusade for Voters is hosting it at Fifth Baptist Church, 1415 W. Cary Street.
After slamming the Richmond area with a lot of rain and wind yesterday, what’s left of Hurricane Michael has moved off the coast. City of Richmond schools will open with a two hour delay, but the rest of the weekend weather should be dry and cool.
This is a relief to many, but especially the Richmond Folk Festival, which takes place just down the hill, and kicks off at 6 pm this evening.
Because of the massive crowds expected, visitors are encouraged to use shuttles and other options instead of parking in Oregon Hill. But hopefully, everyone can enjoy this great festival.
