LURAY, May 22 — Friday and Saturday will mark two of the biggest days of the year in the Town of Shenandoah, as they prepare for the 27th annual Memorial Festival. It begins with a cruise-in and carnival on Friday afternoon and continues through the memorial service Saturday morning at the VFW and the parade down First Street on Saturday afternoon.
We’ll be talking with Lora Jenkins, the events coordinator for the Town and curator of the Shenandoah Museum and Welcome Center, about all of the activities planned over the two-day event that brings hundreds to Downtown Shenandoah.
As always, we’ll look back at “the week that was” in the Page Valley with a review of news headlines and sports scores, and we’ll tell you about some upcoming events to look out for this weekend.
(Page Valley Livin’ ~ Episode 24 was recorded on Tuesday, May 21 and first aired Wednesday, May 22).
Coming up on Page Valley Livin’… we’re working on shows that will share details about upcoming events and special honors received by local folks. We’re also open to ideas…if you have one for an upcoming show — an interesting person you know (or want to know) with an interesting story — send us an email or provide a comment below.
The aim and purpose of these videos is to provide more information about more things that make up the wonderful place we call the Page Valley of Virginia. Serious issues will be handled seriously, while lighter issues may offer more opportunity to have some fun. There is no theme or agenda other than promoting the Page Valley, and trying to better inform the people who both live here and those who love to visit.
