WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 2008

These kids blowing bubbles at the Reynolds Homestead's Spring Frolic Saturday got a lot of help from a windy afternoon in Critz. The celebration of May included children's art displays and musical performances; Mr. Pokeeto's balloon animals; face painting, plant pounding, sand art, scrap crafts, hoop rolling and other traditional children's games.

GOING FASTER, COSTING MORE:

The Virginia Department of Transportation recently erected signs officially raising the speed limit from 55 mph to 60 mph on some sections of U.S. Rt. 58 in Patrick County. In the meantime, gas prices climb rapidly toward the $4-per-gallon mark, the highest price in U.S. history, creating more "pain at the pump."
