Electioneering and Classic Cars

Last Sunday I had a booth at the 31st annual Classics on the Green Wine Festival & Car Show. The weather was fantastic at New Kent Winery for the thousands of motoring enthusiasts who showed up to see the European classic cars. Here are few shots of my booth and the event.

Did You Know? Concealed Weapons Permits . . .

Concealed Handgun Permits are issued through the office of Clerk of the Circuit Court. Any person 21 years of age or older may apply in writing to the clerk of the circuit court of the county or city in which he or she resides, or if he is a member of the United States armed forces, the county or city in which he is domiciled, for a five-year permit to carry a concealed handgun. 

Last year the New Kent Circuit Court issued 487 permits. One of the highest per capita ratios in the state.

News You Can Use

Exciting times for business in New Kent. As the new Advance Auto takes shape in Bottoms Bridge, land is now being cleared for our new Waffle House. And here in the New Kent Charles City Chronicle we read of talk of more businesses moving into the Maidstone development at New Kent Courthouse.

Did You Know? History . . .

Thomas Hall, Clerk of New Kent County, was hanged by the victorious Governor Berkeley after the suppression of Bacon's Rebellion. Said to be "a person of Neat Ingenious parts, but addicted to a more than ordinary prying into the Secrets of State affairs, which some years last past wrought him into the Governors displeasure." He was executed in 1677 for the crime that "by divers writings under his own hand … a most notorious actor, aided and assisted in the rebellion."*

New Kent County was much larger at this time, covering most of the headwaters of the York River.
