Winchester was a central part of the entire War of Northern Aggression. The guide indicated that the city changed hands 72 times during the war. Lots of guns, bullets, shells, and memorabilia. War is hell, indeed. It's about 20 minutes worth of looking and examining. $4.50 (with AAA discount) isn't too bad.

It is located in a strip mall, but has a couple rooms of exhibits and its centerpiece is a light up battle map that runs for 18 minutes and walks you through the battle. They have four partner sites, a morning attacks hiking trail, and a driving tour, so you could easily spend all day here. We ended up going over to Belle Grove and doing a building tour, plantation overview, and viewing where the fighting took place, then heading to Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation Headquarters to view their free museum and film. The rangers were very friendly and helpful, great with answering questions and providing information. They have an assortment of brochures, maps, junior ranger booklets, and the like, plus passport stamps available at the visitor center. There is a small parking lot available.

The grounds are beautiful with flowers, fruit trees, and a natural spring near by and has free parking. This tour is a part of a block ticket you can get for $10 and also visit Gen.

Not far from Winchester airport, and the downtown area, this is a fun place. Family friendly, as very nice folks, who enjoy a good race. Stock car is my favorite, and this mud track is entertaining. It's rustic but that makes it even better. All of the staff who work here are great. Tickets are affordable, and concessions are very reasonable. As a single dad I appreciate this. Best spot is grandstand under the announcers box. Lots of shade hot summer nights. It's a joy to be back here, and ready for some fast cars close to each other!

My family and I wandered into this festival, thinking it was a farmers market or street fair. Boy,…read morewas I excited when I found out it was a beer festival. It took me a while though--I first ran into The Gypsy Catwalk mobile boutique, which was next to a homebrewers' association tent. So I'm talking to the super nice woman, thinking if I donate some money, I get some beer tastings. She had to explain to me that it was a whole festival. The brew part: you can walk around for free. There's food trucks and other vendors, which is great. If you want to taste, it is $25 for five pours (ten tickets) and a small glass. There's a VIP option as well, but I didn't look into that. The blues part: different blues bands playing in one section of the park, and people brought blankets/chairs. The website lists over 20 different breweries, but I didn't count while I was there. However, I did find some new favorite beers, such as Pale Fire's Smokin' Scottish and Troegs' DreamWeaver Wheat. Each brewery was offering two different beers, and each pour was two tickets each. Plus, the homebrewers' association was offering tastings, and you didn't have to use your tickets (but I did donate). I tried a seasonal one from them and loved it, and got a pretzel necklace. I enjoy the blues, and the band we heard (Hypnotic Willie, I believe) was great. I could've stayed there all day, and would love to make a day of it (or weekend) and return next year. Yes, it's not as big as something like Snallygaster, but it's also not as crowded and I had a fantastic time. If I lived nearby, I definitely be here yearly, and if you are planning to visit, or need a day trip, you might want to time it around Brew and Blues.

This festival will be remembered for a great band - great Greek music sound - The Golden Flame Band. I attend to follow them and repeat my visit to St. Catherine's in Falls Church, just to hear them again! This festival had the most affordable cost as well. The Greek beer is standard $5 at the Greek festival, except in St. Sophia in DC where it is $7. The beer in the heart of Shenandoah Valley was $4.50. Free parking, great pasticcio, no entrance fee, area for kids were added bonus. The only problem is a true dedication of the locals to make an annual pilgrimage to the Greek festival so the food line (after Noon) had at least 100 people patiently waiting. Opa! Great job!
