A
s the closing show of their 41st
Season, Four County Players is proud
to present the riotous comedy, BEDROOM FARCE, by Sir Alan
Ayckbourn.
In this classic contemporary British comedy, we
follow the hilarious interactions of four different couples in three different bedrooms on one crazy night.
When things go awry at a housewarming party, their
lives become uproariously complicated! Funny and
gripping at the same time, this sophisticated comedy
lets us in on the secrets of middle-class marriage.
Expect pratfalls, chaos, and plenty of laughs in this
fast-paced, quick-witted comedy. (PG-rated -- no sex,
nudity, or swearing!)
This production is directed by Robert Davis, and is
performed by a talented ensemble cast, with Kenneth
Waller, Linda Poser Waller, Randy Clark, Karen
Honeycutt, Charif Soubra, Michelle Majorin, Julie
Stavitski, and Gary Warwick White. It features costume design by Edward Warwick White, set design by
Ole Rodland, scenic design by Kerry Moran, and lighting design by Michael Kneller. Rounding out the production staff are Wendy Novicoff as Producer, Mary
Beth Wiley as Production Stage Manager, and Aimee
McDavitt as Assistant Stage Manager.
BEDROOM FARCE opens May 9 and runs weekends through May 25. Friday & Saturday evening performances are at 8PM, and Sunday matinees are at
2:30PM. Tickets are $16/adults, $14/seniors & students, $12/children 12 & under, and all Friday performances are half-price (half of a regular adult ticket).
Four County Players is Central Virginia's LongestRunning Community Theater, and prides itself on

surrounding areas. For more information or to

unny skies and warm temperatures added to the charm of the Dolley
Madison Garden Club’s Walking Tour of Gordonsville.
This year marked the 81st year of Garden Week in Virginia . The
Walking Tour of Gordonsville featured three private residences and their
gardens, the recently renovated Exchange Hotel and Christ Episcopal
Church. In addition, Dolley’s Market, a street fair of shops operated all day. Local
resident, Phil Audibert showed his documentary on the history of Gordonsville. Box
lunches featuring Gordonsville’s famous fried chicken quickly sold out and live music
was playing throughout the village.
Local residents and merchants supported the event with many restaurants and
shops offering discounts to ticket holders.
The tour held April 26th, attracted a smaller and more locally based audience
than the 2013 estate tour. “ Gordonsville was the first walking tour we’ve ever
done, a completely new concept”, said Garden Club spokesperson Mary
Hintermann. “ We were overall pleased with the turnout. Comparing the tour to
2013 isn’t comparing apples to apples” she says. “2013 was off the charts in part
because of the promotion and attendance from the metro DC area we are very satisfied with the turnout.”

mall town America is
rumored to be disappearing. But if you look
closely, you can still find
it hidden along two-lane
main streets, surrounded by green fields.
And in small town America, you can
still find personal service and attention
to detail that is often missing in larger
stores.
Tess and Company Jewelers is a
small town jeweler whose passion is to
provide fine or custom jewelry for
clients.
“I am a ‘mom and pop shop.’ I am
small town America and there is oneon-one service. If you want something
done, it won’t get sent out, it stays in
the shop,” says owner and goldsmith

“I commuted to Richmond for so
many years and I have worked for other
people and I really wanted my own
space and to open up my own store,”
says Sakellariou. She designed her shop
to be warm and welcoming. “I want
people to be comfortable coming in
here.”
Although walking into a fine jewelry
store sometimes can be intimidating,
Tess emphasizes the variety of items
that are available and the wide range of
repair work she can do.
“People have come in with something that is costume jewelry that needs
repair and I will fix that because it
means something to them. I don’t turn
anything away if I am capable of fixing
it. If something is important to you, I am
more than happy to fix it for you,”
explains the jeweler. “If it worth something to you, it is worth something to
me, let’s see if I can do it.”

ships with her clients and loves working
with them to create the perfect piece.
Whether it is creating rings that
mimic tree bark for someone who
works in the tree business or designing
a frog out of gold for a treasured niece,
Tess Sakellariou takes the time to
understand exactly what her client has
in mind and then create it.
“It’s really nice when someone
comes up with an idea and we put it on
paper and then I create it in metal. It’s
nice when I can achieve what they were
really envisioning. To be able to create
what they absolutely want,” says
Sakellariou. “They come in and they
see and it and they love it and that feels
good. I have such a wide variety of
clientele and I love it. They are all neat
people.”
Sakellariou studied as an art major
and moved into goldsmithing and jewelry making at the encouragement of her
brother. She then studied watchmaking
and jewelry-making before apprenticing
for three years at the Goldsmithing
School of Manhattan.
In addition to custom pieces, Tess
and Company Jewelers carries a variety
of styles and stones from elegant pearls
to metal-wrapped stones designed by a
local artist.
“We have such a wide variety. From
stainless steel men’s bracelets to equine
jewelry to vintage pieces.”
In addition to fine jewelry, Tess also
carries items from local artists. Wooden
bowls from Ashland, pottery from
Barboursville, handmade purses, and
paintings by a local animal portrait artist
are featured in the shop as well as jewelry made by artists.
“I love local art and I love to support
local art. It is nice to be able to say ‘yes,
it’s all locally made by talented people,’”
says Sakellariou.
Tess’s passion for art is evident in
her own custom pieces available.
Delicate gold or platinum details and
hand-picked stones make her necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets as
unique as they are beautiful.
The shop is open Tuesday-Saturday.

The Grelen Market
Local bands
Great wine
Farm to table food

A
ll enjoyed the view while sitting on a patio surrounded by immaculate
landscaping and incredible views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
This is what guests can expect to enjoy during any of Grelen
Market’s summer concert events.
Every first and third Thursday through the summer, the Somerset nursery and
market will host a concert and dinner on their grounds.
“We are such a beautiful location and it’s off the beaten path,” says Emmie
Woody, General Manager at Grelen Market.
The atmosphere for the evening concerts is relaxed. Guests are invited to dress
down, unwind, and enjoy the evening.
“It’s really just a great opportunity for people to come out and enjoy themselves.
In the evening it is very peaceful and quiet and the sunsets are gorgeous,” says
Woody.
“The concert and dinner is also a very family friendly event. Last year, we would
find the adults on the patio eating dinner and then we have a sandbox and corn hole
and the kids would run around playing flashlight tag. Or, the kids would run in the
berry fields next to the Market. We’re a large area, but not so large that families get
too dispersed.”
The bands or artists who play are local artists who have styles that fit with the
relaxed atmosphere and have folk or other relaxed styles. “Most of the musicians
are solo artists or duos or trios. Smaller, acoustic, or lightly-plugged sounds that can
be enjoyed by everyone.”
Dinners are often cooked by Grelen’s own full time chef, Chef Mel who focuses
on sustainable, farm-to-table food in her menus.
“We have a huge garden where we grow a lot of our vegetables and we have fruit
trees and berries. The chef incorporates a lot of those ingredients,” explains Emmie
Woody.
Chef Mel works from a commercial kitchen in a renovated building on the Grelen
Nursery grounds. Soups, chicken salads, homemade ice cream, homemade donuts
and other light fare are sold from the cafe in the Grelen Market along with food from
other Virginia companies such as sweets from Red Rocker Candy or cheese from
Everona Dairy.
On concert evenings, the cafe and market are open, but the focus is on the buffet-style meal served outside. Whether it is homemade pizza or tasty barbeque, Chef
Mel and guest chefs from area restaurants will create a variety of dishes from local
produce.
Roe and Dee Allison are the owners of Reynard Florence Vineyard in
Barboursville. They offered wine by the glass and by the bottle and will be
returning on June 5th to do it again.

In addition to local chefs and musicians, each concert event will feature a local
vineyard that will offer tastings and sell wine by the glass or the bottle. Several different wineries will have wines available at the events this summer including Reynard
Florence Vineyard and Keswick Vineyard.
Although most concerts will be held outside, the Market at Grelen is prepared for
summer showers as well. On rainy evenings, guests can enjoy dinner, music, and
wine in the greenhouse.
“These are rain or shine events. If there is inclement weather, we have our greenhouse which is set up with tables.”
Grelen Nursery has been in business as a wholesale nursery for 23 years. The
property adjoins the James Madison’s Montpelier estate and boasts breathtaking
views of the Somerset region and the mountains.
Three years ago, owners Dan and Leslie Gregg opened berry fields for pick-yourown berries. Guests regularly commented on the beautiful location and the Greggs
began looking for more ways to invite people to the property.
Last year, an old house on the property was renovated and turned into a garden
market and gift shop. Another was renovated to make room for a commercial
kitchen. The gardens and patio surrounding the shop also serve as a showcase for
Grelen’s landscaping. Now Grelen sells retail and wholesale flowers, plants, and
shrubs as well as unique gifts and light fare from the cafe.
The annual summer concert series began last year and will run from May through
October.
Other events hosted at the Market include “lunch and learn” workshops, “walk
and learn” classes, seasonal events such as a Dog-Wood walk (guests are invited to
bring their canine friends along) and Halloween events. Private dinners and parties
can also be held on the grounds. For more information, visit the Grelen Market

Picking up
Trash
The 5th Annual DASH FOR TRASH
Litter-Collecting Scavenger Hunt to Clean Up
Downtown Orange
Contributed by Jeff Curtis, director of the Orange Downtown Alliance
O
n your mark, get set, Dash! On
Saturday, June 14th, the Orange
Downtown Alliance and the Orange
County Litter Control Committee will host the fifth
annual downtown-Orange Dash for Trash clean-up.
Clean-Up teams will start promptly at 9 a.m. at
the Train Station on Short Street where participant
teams and individuals can grab garbage bags and
gloves and dash into downtown Orange to participate
in a litter-collecting scavenger hunt called the Dash
for Trash. Teams of litter pickers will scour the town
for everything from cigarette butts, used batteries, old
hub caps and cans to rack up points. Each type of litter has a different value associated with it and teams
that show the most spirit, collect the most recyclables
and accumulate the most points will win cash prizes
of $100 for First Place, $75 for Second and $50 for
Third.
Dash for Trash is an event that is co-sponsored by
the Orange Downtown Alliance and the Orange
To Advertise call: 434-207-0223 • Email: [email protected]
County Litter Control Committee. Dash for Trash gives
residents, families, clubs, businesses, and organizations
the opportunity to help clean up downtown Orange
while enjoying some friendly competition with other
teams. It is a community spirit builder and is fun for all
involved. Dash for Trash is aimed at preventing future
littering through increased awareness of Orange
County’s anti-litter laws and by the good example the
participants will set that day. Teams are required to register with ODA if they wish to participate.
Registration will start at the Train Station at 8a.
Teams will be released at 9a and have two hours to collect trash and then report back at the Train Station
where the points will be counted. The cash prizes will
be awarded to the winning teams at the end of the event.
