Nottoway Nights Canceled Tonight, Join Us Saturday at Nottoway Park for Latinx Conservation Month Events

July 8, 2021

Dear Residents,

Unfortunately the Nottoway Nights concert tonight has been CANCELED due to the weather. I would like to thank the band Project Locrea that was scheduled to play tonight and hope we get to hear them perform in the future. If the weather cooperates, next week's concert is on Thursday, July 15 at 7:30pm, featuring Voices of Classic Soul.

I hope you can join us this Saturday as we celebrate Latinx Conservation Month at Nottoway Park. Come see the sheep grazing on plants in the morning, and stay to volunteer by pulling invasive plants and view the environmental displays around the park. You can find all of the details for these events and more in the newsletter below.

With Gratitude,

Supervisor Dalia Palchik
