SUMMARY:Put-In-Creek Duathlon: Run + Kayak
DESCRIPTION:This is a 3 mile run + 2.5 mile kayak\, starting & ending in Mathews Courthouse area\, transition point at Williams Wharf. If that sounds like a good time to you\, then feel FREE to join us on Labor Day 2020: Monday\, Sep 7th. That’s right: it’s free & open to everyone. It’s a ‘just for fun’ event\, but don’t get me wrong – there are some who will be competing with each other\, but all in good fun. \n \nLocation. This event will start and end at Put-In-Creek park and pavilion in Mathews Courthouse. Just a few years ago\, the town of Mathews built a new dock and kayak ramp there so getting in and out of the water is really easy. The creek is tidal so we schedule it to finish very near high tide to ensure no one gets stuck in the mud. High Tide on 7 Sep 2020 is 12:46pm ET \nSchedule. Participants will drop off kayak at Williams Wharf at 11am (we’ll have a volunteer posted there to keep an eye on the kayaks and assist with the transition) and drive to starting area at Put-In-Creek park. We’ll have brief instructions and start as close to 11:30am as possible. We’ve done this course several times – no one has done it as a relay\, but that is certainly an option if you want to divide it up with another person. \nBring a lunch. We’ll enjoy the brand new pavilion at the finish area for a bring-your-own picnic lunch. Again: everyone & anyone is welcome to participate: you do not have to be a VTTR club member or Mathews resident to take part. \nTiming. Timing equipment will be on hand if we have volunteers show up to operate it. So if you’re interested in your overall time\, be prepared with your own watch/ timing device. A volunteer will be at transition point only. The course is on open road & open water – competitors will participating at their own risk. Event will be held rain-or-shine – it will only be cancelled on race morning due to lightning (posted on Virginia Tidewater Trailrunners Facebook page). Questions can be emailed to vttrunners@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Artist of the Month Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:November Artist of the Month\, Gayle Merrill’s exhibit will run through November 30. Gayle lives in Gloucester\, Virginia\, on the North River. She enjoys painting with the abundance of light in her home studio. Gayle’s oil paintings have an emphasis on light and color. Boats\, landscapes\, water reflections\, flowers and sunlight are her main themes. A strong influence on her work has been Edward Hopper\, whose favorite subject was “to paint sunlight on the side of a house” with some of his main subjects being seascapes and rural landscapes. Also\, the colors and layers of paint that the impressionist\, Claude Monet\, used are important in her work. To view and shop Gayle’s collection online visit https://www.bayschool-arts.com/pages/november-artist-of-the-month-gayle-merrill or visit the Bay School Gallery.
