Shenandoah Valley Art Center presents: Bluegrass Jam Session! Saturday, November 7, from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. Jam sessions will be held in the 416 West Main St. Gallery which will give expanded space allowing for break-off jams, if merited. We will stick with the format of passing tunes in a circle and passing the hat to support the musicians, which is, of course, optional. The art center is also a terrific gallery space so check out the exhibits. There will be seating or standing room for participants. Come pick, listen, or hang out with a friend! All are welcome!

Mark your calendars now for a great evening of fabulous music, great food, and a fun time November 7th. Route 33 Bluegrass will be playing from 5-8. Bring your own instrument and play afterwards in an open jam from 8-10. Come eat dinner beginning at 4, listen to an amazing bluegrass group, bid on some silent auction items, play a little 50/50: all while supporting the volunteers.

Admission is free (donations accepted)

Meal: hot open faced turkey sandwich , mashed potatoes, green beans, MAC and cheese, dessert, and drink for $12.00

Welcome Back to School!

It’s time for a reunion, but this time, there’s no homework, no early curfew, and definitely no pop quiz!

Join the Rockingham Educational Foundation on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Brix & Columns Vineyard for a night of nostalgia, school spirit, and fun as we bring the best parts of your school days back to life—with a grown-up twist. Come dressed like you did in your school days, gather your classmates and friends, and get ready for an evening featuring:

Dinner and drinks
A DJ keeping the party going
A Locker Challenge with prizes
A photo booth to capture the memories
Silent and live auction items
Plenty of school spirit and surprises along the way

When you purchase your tickets, you’ll also have the option to tell us where and when you graduated high school. This information will help us tailor the music, trivia, and other nostalgic touches throughout the evening to the people in the room.

And while the theme is all about looking back, the reason we gather is about moving students forward. Your ticket helps REFI provide valuable support to Rockingham County Public Schools students and teachers through programs including Innovative Learning Grants, the Teacher Supply Depot, scholarships, REFI CARES, and more.
