We’ve all seen the motorcycle driving classes in the parking lot of Lynchburg campus’ CVCC, but what about the other unique classes offered by the continuing education department at Central Virginia Community College?
Offered is everything from parenting to basic home maintenance, computer repair and how to become a radio voice over! See a complete list here >
But my favorite upcoming classes are Homebrewing 101 and Winemaking 101, both offered from our very own Pint-O-Plenty homebrew kit expert, Doug John, located in Forest, VA. Get his information here >
The beer and wine-making courses coming up in the Fall will provide step by step instructions on how to brew in your own home. See the CVCC website for more information!
A Perfect Saturday with a Trip Downtown

My favorite date day with my husband is a planned Saturday morning downtown.
Don’t linger around your house drinking coffee on a lovely sunny morning in Lynchburg! If you do, you’ll be missing out on something that NO big city or destination location has… an easily accessible, quaint, enjoyable morning spent in downtown Lynchburg.
First you need to go early. Remember the farmers get there early and so should you. Not only is the morning just lovely with the coolness of the dew not yet overpowered by the hot sun of summer that is due to arrive around 11am, it’s just an atmosphere perfect for this “field trip†let’s call it.
We greet the farmers and ogle at all the produce that’s available, everything imaginable, at this point you start envisioning your grandmothers kitchen with counter tops of hot jars ready and waiting a variety of vegetables, hot baths for jars, salts and spices, even though you might currently live in a two bedroom apartment something nostalgic comes over you when your around all this fresh produce.
Breakfast is made up of everything temping a breakfast can offer, breads, coffee, cornbread, pudding, pies, cakes, eggs and bacon, everything wonderful. Now, take your coffee and make sure you get a cup with a lid…and head down the street, since you’ve seen all the produce your now inspired that you ARE secretly a farmer and that you should be tilling soil of some kind, even if it’s a pot on your balcony or a dug up front lawn.
