Meet at Taylor & Boody at 9:30AM on May 30th for an hour and half tour and depart for Trinity Episcopal in time to hear the organ play from 11:30am to noon. (Donations to Trinity are accepted and appreciated as they are trying to fund a
trip for their senior choristers as part of their development as a choir.)

The BRITISH are COMING!
Back by popular demand, the SVBCC will return to the Rockbridge Winery on Sunday, June 7 with music provided by “The Invasion” from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. “The Invasion” is the group that plays nothing but British tunes from the 1960’s. The winery will have a preferred parking area set aside for our British Cars, but pack a chair to kick back and enjoy the day and the company!
Update:
Please note that there will not be a food truck. However, at the I-81 Raphine Exit 205, which you take to get to the winery, there are multiple food options: the
White Travel Center contains Popeye’s Chicken, Papa John’s Pizza, Subway, Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs, and The Filling Station which has a deli and grab to go meals. The exit also has a Wendy’s, Burger King, plus the Iron Skillet and Quaker Steak & Lube restaurants which can make orders to go. Of course, you can also bring items from home!
Address for Rockbridge Winery: 35 Hillview Rd, Raphine, VA 24472

SVBCC Chicken Run Drive & Dine with Sam Koogler
2026-06-20 | Sheetz Fishersville, 726 Tinkling Spring Rd, Fishersville, VA, 22939, United States
Sponsored by Sam Koogler
It’s time, once again, for a South Valley Chicken Run! For those of you who haven’t joined in the past, it’s a fun 1.5 (approx) hour drive ending at the Koogler’s with a “bring something to share” picnic under the apple tree in the 2 acre back yard (lots pf parking room so be sure to come).
Main dish is supplied; BarBCued chicken from the Raphine Volunteer Fire Department, some of the best in the region. Drinks will also be provided.
Soooo…bring a side or a salad and a lawn chair and enjoy the country air and wonderful food. Minimum batch from the fire dept is 50 halves so I need LOTS of folks to eat it! I still have some in the freezer from the last time.
We’ll meet at the Sheetz in Fishersville at Exit 91 of I-64 at 10 AM. Leave at 10:15. The drive will be about 1.5 hours of mostly back country roads. If you can’t make the drive, join us at the house at 5160 Borden Grant Trail in Fairfield a little before noon. It’s only 5 minutes from the Raphine exit of I-81.
Oh, BTW as an added attraction, that is the weekend of the Raphine Fire Dept carnival. So if you want to extend the enjoyment, you can go there from the picnic!
See you then!
