Last year, I got to meet one of the volunteers of the New Roots Youth Garden (NRYG), Tammy Holloway.  Through my story about picking pecans one Sunday morning, Tammy inquired about the location of these trees that were so giving this past year so that the NRYG kids could pick some for the holiday pecan pie sale.

Having watched the NRYG take shape with interest since its inception, I thought that helping those kids any way I could would be fun.  Gardening.  Kids.  Education.  All good stuff.

Then I met Tammy and her husband, Jim, and realized: I really need to help these people!

If you’ve met Tammy, you’ll understand.  She and Jim have quickly become stewards of one of the most amazingly beautiful homes in Cape Charles, now Bay Haven Inn, but also active supporters of all things Cape Charles.  They truly get what this place is all about and have poured their hearts and souls in to making our little town a better place for us all.

The month of April spotlights Eastern Shore writers.

Playwright, poet, publisher, and author Robert P. Arthur is a Shore native best known for the musical play “Hymn to the Chesapeake,” a tribute to the watermen of the Chesapeake Bay, performed on the East Coast and internationally St. Petersburg, Russia.

Now Arthur has started an experimental theater based at ESO Arts Center in Belle Haven called the Edge Theater.

The Edge Theater is being launched April 26-27 with “An Evening of One-Acts, Five World Premieres.”
