 Old Business:

  • Crozet Independence Day Celebration
    • Saturday, July 5, 2025 was the Crozet Independence Day Celebration at King Family Vineyard.  It was very successful and we thank all the folks who donated to the event and/or to the fireworks – especially to the King family and staff who put in so much time and effort to help it be so successful.
    • Mark your calendar for the 250th anniversary of USA independence on July 4, 2026!
  • Hanging Baskets along Crozet Avenue in downtown Crozet.  Muff Biber, Tim Tolson, and Chelsea Powers (president of Crozet Board of Trade) are working on the details of draft contract from the Albemarle County Facilities and Environmental Services department.  The aim is to have flower baskets as soon as possible.
  • Lisa Goehler proposed that we investigate the possibility of moving our meeting to the Crozet Library. It will require the meeting to be when the library is available, so it will require a change of meeting time and day of the week.  We agreed to investigate times and day of the week with the Crozet Library and discuss at the next meeting (this one on November 13) as if it were a resolution.  We will aim for the first meeting in Crozet Library to be in January.  Lisa  also asked about whether it would work for it to be both an in person and a Zoom meeting.

New Business

  • At our next regular meeting in January 2026, we have the election of CCA officers for 2026. Nominations are open for President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.  Current  officers are: President: Tim Tolson, Vice-President: Lisa Goehler, Secretary: Jo Ann Perkins, and Acting Treasurer: Tim Tolson.  Candidates must be present at the January 2026 meeting or have spoken with a current officer about their willingness to serve if elected (Article II of the Bylaws).

    • Resolution: “Due to information that the developer of Montclair was intending to bury the stream when he told the county that he would not, as part of the rezoning hearing on February 21, 2024, the community of Crozet says it is time to rehear the Montclair zoning map amendment. Second, the community of Crozet respectfully requests that, prior to granting a land disturbance permit to the Montclair site developer, Albemarle County engage a competent outside, independent legal counsel to review and advise the County and community on how the provisions of the Water Protection Ordinance apply to the stream buffers on or adjacent to the Montclair site. This review should include, but not be limited to, a recommendation on how the County should enforce compliance with the WPO given that the stream was buried by the Montclair developer without the local permits required by the Water Protection Ordinance.”

There are no dogs or pets allowed in the event space.
No coolers are allowed as well as no outside alcohol (ABC regulation).
No tents or canopies.

Designated smoking area is provided and we ask that you only smoke in that area. 

How much would you pay for such good times?  All that’s asked is a donation of $5 per person (and  children 9 years and under are free) as you enter the festivities (parking is free and exiting has been revised this year).  The non-profit civic groups in Crozet are the ones that benefit from any money raised above the cost of the event, so please be generous.  Most years, we’ve donated over $6,000 to CVFD, WARS, and other civic groups.

Making a Contribution

These events involve a lot of donated time from a lot of individuals, but they can’t happen without financial contributions, too. We want everyone to enjoy our small-town event, so we ask for donations at the entrance – A donation of $5 per person (children 9 and under are free) as you enter the festivities (parking is free and exiting after the fireworks will be quick).  Your donation helps to pay for the fireworks and event expenses.

The Crozet Board of Trade (CBT) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  It paid the deposit to secure the fireworks show and is raising money now to pay the second half of the cost, as well as the deposit for the 2026 show—which is expected to cost at least $40,000.  The total goal of the 2025 campaign is $50,000! (Read the Crozet Gazette article.) We recommend you consult your tax advisor about deducting this donation.

We also have a named beneficiary, the Downtown Crozet Initiative, if we reach or exceed our goal, we will donate some of the proceeds (after fireworks and event expenses) to it.  It is a non-profit (501(c)3 as well, raising funds for the Crozet Plaza, as a vibrant commercial and residential area.  So give generously.

Also, the non-profit civic groups in Crozet benefit from any money raised above the cost of the event.  Most years we’ve donated over $6,000 to local civic groups, including the Crozet Volunteer Fire Department, Western Albemarle Rescue Squad, and the Crozet Trails Crew (among others), so please be generous.

Of course, we appreciate all donations, but to boost our efforts to cover the fireworks, we have four leadership donor levels and we are hoping that you will show your support by becoming a lead patron this year.

  • For a donation of $500 to $999, if you provide us with your banner, we will display that banner at the entrance to King Family Vineyards during the event, identify your patron status in the Crozet Gazette, event handbill, and announce your support from the stage at the event.
  • For a donation of $1,000 up to $2,499, we will provide an 1/8 page advertisement in the Crozet Gazette identifying your sponsorship and include your words and/or logos. If you provide us with a company banner, we will display it at the CIDC at King Family Vineyards during the event. We will also identify your patron status in the Crozet Gazette, in the event handbill, and announce your support from the stage at the event.
  • For a donation of $2,500-$4,999 level, we will provide an 1/4 page advertisement in the Crozet Gazette identifying your sponsorship and include your words and/or logos.

It takes a village – won’t you help out on Saturday, July 5th for an hour?

We need your help for just an hour or two on Saturday, July 5th.  Please go to the sign-up genius website to help with the Crozet Independence Day Celebration (CIDC)  Saturday, July 5, between 4PM to 10PM (or Sunday morning to pick up King Family Vineyards before it opens).  There are a variety of tasks and time slots. Most of the time slots are only an hour – so there’s lots of ways to help and still enjoy the event.

To volunteer for an hour, please click here.

When you sign-up it will ask for your name, email and, optionally phone number.  No one else can see your email and phone.  We promise we won’t share it.  It’s helpful for us to have it if something happens and we need to let you know about a last minute change.

We urge church groups, civic and neighborhood associations to sign-up.  Crozet Trails Crew, the Crozet Fellowship Church and a local realtor have already volunteered to staff one spot the whole evening!  Let’s see which group can have the most volunteers!

With your help, we can make this Crozet Independence Day celebration the best ever!

Thank you for your help in making our small-town tradition a success!
