Church Hill Walking Tour

Sat May 30 3:30 pm
Church Hill is the oldest neighborhood in Richmond. You will meander through streets lined with beautiful late 18th and 19th century architecture; see St. John’s Episcopal Church where Patrick Henry proclaimed “Give me liberty, or give me death!” in 1775; and view stunning vistas of the City of Richmond. You will also hear about the eccentric cast of characters who make up the fabric of Colonial, Federal, and antebellum Richmond.

The tour lasts approximately 1.5 – 2 hours. It meets in front of St. Johns Church on 25th& Broad St. No need to reserve a spot, just show up!

The tour is free. If you like the tour, please tip your guide.

Dock Street Cleanup

Sun May 31 10:00 am
Dock St is desperately in need of another cleanup so we’ll spend an hour or so picking up trash along the canal front. If enough people show up we’ll clean towards Rockett’s Landing as well. I’ll have pickers, gloves and bags, make sure to bring water and sunscreen as will probably be fairly warm.

UNLIMITED SALAD AND BREADSTICKS

Sun May 31 7:00 pm
We’ll be serving slices of fresh mozzarella and garlic pizza, topped with a garden salad made from a selection of Tomten Farms greens and produce.

All proceeds will benefit Tricycle Gardens. We’ll be serving beer as well and a rose and chenin blanc.

Unlike other Pizza 2000 events in the past, THERE WILL NOT BE ANY PIZZA AVAILABLE TO TAKE AWAY. All pizza will be passed around the bakery and offered in an “all-you-can-eat” and fist-come-first-served style. We’re suggesting a $10 donation, but each person is welcome to donate as s/he sees fit. Beer and wine sales will be separate.
