Around the Valley 03.16.2023

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a great week. Our family has been busy this week. We celebrated Pi Day at Blacksburg Middle School with the 6th grade Math class yesterday. Today we went to Blacksburg Aquatic Center to enjoy the pool since schools were closed. On Friday night we will be in Salem for the AMA Arenacross Championship Show. If you are looking for something entertaining for the family, we highly recommend this fun motorcross event. We attend every year and have a blast.

There will NOT be a newsletter sent out on Thursday, May 4, 2023. We will resume the following week, thank you for your understanding.

Come see for yourself why Jurassic Quest is America’s biggest and most popular dinosaur event at the Berglund Center in Roanoke, VA from March 31st - April 2nd! Our family 4 pack free ticket winners are: Gary Riddle & Hayden Catlett (we have sent emails to these subscribers)
