Feasting For The RAHC

Feasting For The RAHC

Strong winds didn’t keep just over 900 people, including 98 volunteers, from turning out for the 15th annual Bull & Oyster Fest at the Virginia Horse Center Saturday afternoon. Luckily, they were sheltered from the winds by a large tent. Ticket holders enjoyed a bounty of barbecue and shellfish while tapping their toes to the music of Gary Ruley and Mule Train. They also had the chance to participate in two raffles. This event is a major fundraiser for the Rockbridge Area Health Center. (Joann Ware photos) 04/05/2023 12:00 AM

Damaging Winds

The strong winds Saturday took out trees that blocked roadways and caused scattered power outages. In Rockbridge County, there were a total of 33 emergency 911 calls for trees down, according to Rockbridge County Fire/Rescue Chief Nathan Ramsey. The Rockbridge Baths Volunteer Fire Department is shown below tackling a tree across the road in Goshen Pass. Ramsey and Raphine firefighters, meanwhile, responded to a house on Harvest Lane in Raphine (seen above) that was heavily damaged by a fallen tree. The two occupants were displaced, and Red Cross was contacted to assist with hotel room for a couple of nights until the insurance company can do assessment and provide assistance.
