Weekly YouTube show dives into various issues, sites and events in the Page Valley
By Randy Arrington
LURAY, June 17 — This week we visit with Luray native Nolan Nichols to talk about his speaking venture “A Million Dreams.” The 2010 Luray High School graduate travels the country on the lecture circuit, but before he started captivating audiences of major corporations he worked as a videographer. That role lead to riding in a private jet with Frank Beamer, getting heckled by Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal on the set of “Inside the NBA,” shadowing the set of “Good Morning America,” and even a Division I athletic scholarship.
We’ll learn how a little thing called the “Bull Pup News” offered by Mr. Yoder at Luray Elementary sparked a career in television production, and what it was like to follow the journey of the LHS basketball team all the way to the state title this season.

(Page Valley Livin’~Episode 120 was recorded Monday, June 15, and aired Wednesday, June 17, 2026).
Coming up on Page Valley Livin’… we’ll say farewell to the third police chief in the county in the past 100 days.
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.
