Our family-friendly Kite Day event was held Sunday, April 9 at River City Sportsplex. On a gorgeous and windy day, over 300 attended to fly kites, enjoy Kona Ice, face-painting, balloon twisting, and ride the PlayRVA train.

Thanks to our fabulous sponsor, Woodfin: Your Home Team, for providing kites, a kite repair station, and super event support.

New signs have been installed at Robious Landing Park to warn river users about the dangers of Bosher's Dam, which is approx. four miles downstream. The signage was prompted by the drowning of two local women who went over the dam last Memorial Day.

The mission is to keep everyone who goes on the river safe. People are encouraged to check river conditions and remain alert when on the water.
