Dear Friend,
You Are Invited to our 2024 FriendsFest!
Date: September 15, 2024.
Time: 4-5 PM - Gather, kid/family games, educational programs.
Location: 111 Mill Race Rd, Verona, VA
Bring: Drinks, plates, cups and utensils. Chair or blanket.
For those of you who may be new to Friends Fest, it is our annual celebration of the Middle River and you, the Friends of the Middle River! During the picnic, we will draw the winning raffle tickets. Two lucky folks will leave with a grand prize of either a new kayak, or stand-up inflatable paddle board. There will also be many more raffle prizes drawn for those in attendance. Additionally, you will have an opportunity to hear about our stewardship efforts from the past year, and any new activities in the pipeline – new volunteer opportunities with FOMR are always available.Â
Additional Info: Please bring your own plates, cups, and utensils. FOMR will provide BBQ, buns, and sauces. We will have sister organizations in attendance that will also provide additional local conservation information you may find useful.
The celebration kicks off at 4 PM and goes until dark. It will be held outdoors at Shirley and Stuart Webster’s beautiful riverfront property, as we have done in the past: 111 Mill Race Road in Verona.
Please arrive in a party mood by car - or boat - if you like! Kids are always welcome, but please leave the dogs at home.
We hope you will join us for this fun evening of fellowship as we give thanks for our sponsors, volunteers, and our amazing resource…the Middle River!
