No Rain On This Parade

No Rain On This Parade

The South River District Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department’s 69th carnival took place last week. The annual parade was held Friday on the main drag in Fairfield. Antique vehicles were a plenty in the parade, including the car that was once driven by Thomas Bare (top left), the patriarch of a family of famous local race car drivers, and (top right) a classic 1965 Ford Mustang. BELOW LEFT, a young parade spectator collects candy in the median strip. BELOW MIDDLE, there were many tractors in the parade, including this John Deere model.

Marker For First Settlement Unveiled

Marker For First Settlement Unveiled

Lexington Mayor Frank Friedman, members of the Chamber of Commerce and about 20 local historians met Tuesday, July 18, at Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church for a ribbon cutting to dedicate the new Timber Grove Highway marker, which commemorates the first settlement in what would become Rockbridge County. Only a graveyard remains of the settlement, a few miles north of Timber Ridge. Since no parking or public access exists at the Timber Grove Cemetery, the sign is located at the Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church. As late as 1920, a log building stood beside the old cemetery, but today only the graveyard remains. 07/26/2023 12:00 AM
