Bark in the Park: Support Henrico's furry friends with 2k dog walk, adoptions, vendors and more!
The nonprofit rescue organization Henrico Humane Society is partnering with the Henrico County Division of Recreation & Parks to host the Bark in the Park Dog Walk from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14 at Deep Run Park, 9900 Ridgefield Parkway.
The event will include an optional 2k dog walk raising funds for Henrico Humane Society’s Medical Emergency Fund. The organization is looking to raise $15,000 for dogs in need. There will also be vendors, dog contests, adoptions, blessing of the animals, food trucks and more.
The Bark in the Park Dog Walk is part of a partnership between the Henrico Humane Society and the county. As part of the county's 2022 bond referendum, voters authorized funding for the construction of a “no-kill” animal shelter and adoption center in Short Pump.
The shelter, to be operated by the Henrico Humane Society, was named the Henrico Pet Adoption Center through public input and voting in 2022.

Oh my! I spent a night in the lockup there, in the early 1970s. I was partying at a friend's apartment on Horsepen and we were loaded and decided to take a dip in the pool, which was closed. When the cops arrived, I was one who didn't get away in time. Next morning in court I was shocked to get a 30-day sentence. The jailers changed their entry to make it look like I'd served my sentence while awaiting trial... "I know you don't want to get that hair cut...." and they let me walk out!!! True but long story made short.

I have never shot a handgun before? Will I be ok or I must go to a range?
I’m 80 and it seems that real country music began to fade away in 1978 and 1979 when Maybelle and Sara passed away. Fortunately we can enjoy many video and audio recordings of the Carter Family and other vintage country greats. At least I was able to see Maybelle several times when she toured with Johnny Cash. They even came to Minot ND in the 1960s when I was stationed at Minot AFB.

Answer You're correct in your observation that the labor force operating the bateau boats on Virginia's rivers was predominantly African American. The historical facts support this assessment. Here's a detailed explanation of the matter: Bateau boats and their purpose: Bateaux (singular: bateau) were long, shallow-draft boats that operated on Virginia's waterways, particularly the James River, from the time of the American Revolution until the 1840s. These boats were crucial for transporting tobacco, wheat, coal, and other goods downstream to Richmond. Labor force on bateau boats: The crews operating these boats, known as bateaumen, were indeed primarily African American. Specifically, they were: Enslaved people Freedmen (former slaves who had been freed) Some poor white people Between 1820 and 1840, it's estimated that about 1,500 bateaumen operated 500 boats along the James River. Historical documentation: It's important to note that most of the historical accounts we have about bateaumen come from white observers of the time. As Will Smith, a historical interpreter, points out, "Every quote we have is from a White landowning, probably slave-owning, or generally aristocratic White, right? So we don't have a lot of their actual story to tell". This lack of first-hand accounts from the bateaumen themselves has led to a gap in our understanding of their experiences. Economic impact: The work of these African American bateaumen was crucial to Virginia's economy. The introduction of the bateau led to a significant increase in tobacco exports. From 1771 to 1775, tobacco exports to England and Scotland increased by 40 percent compared to the period from 1761 to 1765, reaching 102 million pounds. Working conditions: The work of a bateauman was extremely challenging. They had to navigate rocky shoals and swift rapids, often carrying loads of up to 10,000 pounds. The return trip upstream could take as long as 15 days and was described as "a real battle". Cultural significance: The contributions of these African American bateaumen have often been overlooked in historical narratives. However, their work was instrumental in opening up the Virginia frontier and facilitating commerce. Today, there are efforts to recognize and celebrate their contributions, such as the statue "The Headman" by Paul DiPasquale on Brown's Island in Richmond, which serves as a memorial to these workers. Modern recognition: In recent years, there have been efforts to bring attention to this often-forgotten history. For example, the James River Batteau Company offers tours on replica bateaux, aiming to educate people about the crucial role these African American workers played in shaping Virginia's economy and landscape. In conclusion, while modern depictions or reenactments might not always accurately represent the historical reality, the historical record clearly shows that African American workers, both enslaved and free, were indeed the primary operators of bateau boats in Virginia during this period. Their contributions were significant to the economic development of the region, despite often being overlooked in historical narratives.

I’m 32, so I don't remember this show, but I met a woman in Goochland, VA, who told me about it. She was excited whenever it came on as a kid. At a meet and greet, she was among the first in line. The host, Sailor Bob, put white kids on his lap, talked to them, and signed things, but ignored the black kids. When he finally acknowledged them, he hurried through photos without talking or giving them attention. She was heartbroken, and her mom explained that he ignored her because she was black.
About fifty years ago, when I was in my late teens I would dig for trash pits, and old bottles along old Gayton road, before the urban development. There were old foundations and brick wells, throughout the woods. My best friend and myself enjoyed many weekend days, exploring the woods and outdoors. Kids don't have that fun today.😊❤

This video made me so homesick. I was born and raised here. I used to work in the tobacco fields as a teenager. By my late teens I only knew one thing, I wanted out. So after college at ETSU I joined the Army and saw a lot of the country and world in 20 years. Now I'm easing towards civilian retirement and I just want to go back home. You don't realize how attached you are to a place until you leave and can't get back.

I would pay quite a few $$ for that old antique hydrant! Many years ago back in SoCal, I found a 1958 Greenberg's Son's in a junkyard and picked it up for around $30 bucks.. This is a weird looking wet-barrel hydrant and has two nozzles on it. The bottom nozzle is two and a half inches and the top side nozzle is four inch.. After I restored it I'm wondering how much it is worth now... Any idea?

I like the old crew converted coast guard surplus boat.
My family and I lived in an old house in Texas. We knew the history of the house and the man who had it built. We also knew the man’s descendant family. Yes, the house was “haunted”. Several incidents reported by several different individuals, and a couple that I experienced myself. We even have a recorded voice that says “Help me, I need out”. That quote is consistent with the real life story we know about the man who built the house, but the deal is, the house was no longer sitting in the original location on which it was built. Who knows what is really going on here. The experiences are real, and in the natural, they are I explicable, but certainly cannot be excused. I can say, in my experience, it wasn’t anything that scared me away. Sadly, my dad sold the house, and the people who bought it tore it down. 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ I will always wonder why.
