BOB Invites You To Make A Difference in 2008!
Among the many affected by the fire on December 20th that destroyed the Zion Baptist Church in Portsmouth were Joe and Alison Elder, owners of Skipjack Nautical Wares on High Street. The Elders' business and 2nd floor apartment home both were a total loss.
Performers Bob Zentz, the Tanner's Creek Whalers and Blackbeard's Crew have collaborated with the historic Commodore Theatre to present a benefit concert of maritime music in support of the Elders' efforts to rebuild their business, home and lives. The concert beginning at 12 noon on Sunday January 13, will precede the 2 PM matinee showing of the movie, National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Cost for the movie is $7 per person. A suggested $10 donation is requested of those arriving early for the concert and all proceeds from the food sales during the event will be contributed to the Friends of Skipjack Fund. Olde Towne Portsmouth icon, Col. Crawford, portrayed by Eric Price, will be on hand to help emcee the event.
For more information, contact the Friends of Skipjack at 406-3000.
BOB Enjoys A Museum Exhibit....BOB Is Cultured
Don't just learn about the history of Norfolk, be a part
of it at the Chrysler Museum of Art's Historic Houses this holiday
season. Observe and ask questions expert engineers from the Tidewater
Division of the National Model Railroading Association reconstruct the
"Norfolk & Western" and "The Virginian" railways complete with lights,
sound, and scenery of the city as it appeared years ago in the new
exhibition, "Crossroads: Transportation in Norfolk". The exhibition
opens on Sunday, December 9, 2007 at noon at the Historic Houses and
promises to be a fun-filled, yet educational extravaganza for children
and families. This event is free and open to the public, and
construction will be available for viewing on Saturdays and Sundays.
"We are thrilled to unveil the first new exhibition at the Norfolk
History Museum since it opened just two years ago," says Jeanne
Bollendorf, Manager of the Historic Houses. "At its inception, the
Norfolk History Museum was envisioned as a place to share Norfolk's rich
history with residents and visitors alike. With the opening of this
exhibition, we are doing just that-telling the story of transportation
from eras past and highlighting its future. Come join us as we make
history."
"Crossroads: Transportation in Norfolk" explores the unique history of
the city's evolving transportation systems including waterways, airways,
railroads, and of course, automobiles. Norfolk has transformed itself
several times over, and this exhibition showcases an exciting array of
photographs and artifacts that demonstrates the various methods citizens
used to get around town. Journey through time and discover the amazing
technological advances that have been made from the time of the horse
and buggy, to tomorrow's light rail system.
The exhibition will also feature several artifacts on loan from the
Hampton Roads Transit, the City of Norfolk. Among the items on display
are an electronic parking meter, a bus fare box from the year 1944, and
an 8x8-ft model of the Norfolk & Western and Virginian railways. This
miniature replica of Norfolk will feature landmarks from the old Norfolk
& Western passenger depot to the ferry landing. Visitors will see wagons
and streetcars, wharves on the river bustling with activity, and scenery
including vanished buildings from Norfolk's past such as the old city
market, the grand downtown hotels, and some familiar today like
MacArthur Memorial, once City Hall until 1918. Guests will also be able
to test their traffic control skills by operating a fully functional
traffic light.
This exhibition will be available for public viewing through April 6, 2008.
The Chrysler Museum of Art is located at 245 West Olney Road Norfolk, VA
23510.
The Museum is open Wednesday 10 a.m.-9 p.m. by voluntary contribution
Thursday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Sunday 1-5 p.m.
and it is closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and major Holidays.
