A Landscape Saved: The Garden Club of Virginia at 100
Hello everyone!
I thought this to be an interesting story about the garden club of Virginia turning 100 years old.
The story is from The Virginia Museum of History and Culture and has many wonderful images, stories and facts.
I have been to Virginia on many occasion and can attest to its inner beauty!

Posters
Hello everyone.
This is not a new item. It is one I had from last year. 2019 Eastern League All-Star Game, The Diamond in Richmond, Virginia. The Diamond is home to The Richmond Flying Squirrels. What an event it was!! A four day event! Kicked off the Sunday before with a celebration on Browns Island, Monday in Downtown Richmonds
Business District with prizes and giveaways, and later that night a Country Music Jam at Richmond Raceway (my friend and I did not go to that event), and Tuesday night was the Home Run Derby with an event at The Diamond around noon to have some prizes and giveaways, finally The
Eastern League All Star Game at The Diamond, it was an outstanding weekend!
Before the All Star Game, fans were invited to get autographs. I had won the poster in the image and had the entire Western Division autograph that poster.
Unfortunately, due to the amount of people and time, many had time for one All Star Team. I was fortunate enough to get the division I wanted.
The other item, is a poster I designed last year of Long Island Ducks manager, Wally Backman, who was nice enough to sign it for me prior to a Sunday afternoon game.

Virginia Historical Society
This place was very interesting and had many things related to Virginia, civil war and many other items on display. I actually saw an episode of “Mysteries At The Museum”, where this historical society was on part of the episode. it all has beautiful landscapes to walk around.
