SUMMARY:4th Mathews USLHS Grave Marker Event
DESCRIPTION:SIX LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS TO BE HONORED \nOn Saturday\, October 7\, volunteers with the nonprofit organization\, U.S. Lighthouse Society and its Chesapeake Chapter\, will honor six Chesapeake Bay lighthouse keepers in special ceremonies at three cemeteries in Mathews County.  During the ceremonies\, each keeper will be honored with the unveiling of a United States Lighthouse Service grave marker. The chapter will conduct the first 30-minute long tribute to William Edward Davis at H.C. Smither Cemetery in Hudgins at 9:30 a.m.  The event (rain or shine) then moves on to Mathews Baptist Church Cemetery\, also in Hudgins\, where at 10:45 a.m. Keeper Robert Franklin  \nPowell will be honored.  After a lunch break\, the ceremonies will continue at St. Paul United Methodist Church Cemetery in Susan as Keeper John William Thomas is honored at 1:30 p.m. followed by a 2:15 p.m. ceremony recognizing Keeper James Temple Ripley.  And at 3:30 p.m.\, Keeper Oliver R. Hudgins will be honored\, followed immediately by a ceremony for Keeper James Beauregard Hurst.  Keepers Hudgins and Hurst were brothers-in-law and the same group of descendants is expected to attend both ceremonies. \nOf note is the fact that honorees Oliver R. Hudgins and James Beauregard Hurst both served at New Point Comfort Lighthouse.  And honoree John William Thomas recuperated in Lancaster County after a narrow escape with his life when the screwpile lighthouse at Wolf Trap was destroyed by ice floes in 1893.  His family in Mathews received notice a week after the event that he did indeed survive. \nA team from Flotilla 66\, U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary\, will serve as color guard with additional personnel (as available) from the U.S. Coast Guard Station Milford Haven serving as honor guard.   \nThe ceremonies are open to the public. For more information about the Chapter Grave Marker Program honoring Chesapeake Bay keepers buried in VA and MD\, visit www.cheslights.org/Programs or email buffman1881@gmail.com or piano4u@msn.com.  For information about lighthouse keepers\, please visit www.cheslights.org/LHHeritage/Keepers.  The Chesapeake Chapter\, USLHS has already honored 19 lighthouse keepers buried in Mathews during three previous grave marker events.

SUMMARY:Pumphouse Blues Concert
DESCRIPTION:PumpHouse is a regional touring band based in Richmond\, VA offering soulful originals and its own creative spin on traditional Blues mixed with R&B\, Rock & Roll\, and beyond. They are fronted by “Lutha” Lucas\, whose musical style has been described as a fusion of Lou Rawls & James Brown. \nToday\, PumpHouse consists of a diverse and thoroughly entertaining group of 7 members devoted to their music\, friendship\, and fans. This includes its 3 original co-founders — Wayne Chaplin on harp and guitar\, Wayne Pryor on Drums\, and Pete Daniel on bass guitar – along with lead singer Lutha Lucas; Chris Leitch on trombone\, keyboard\, and vocals; Eddie Lohr on lead guitar and vocals and “Tony” Martin on percussion and vocals. \nSince their inception in 2012\, they have entertained crowds as far west as Palm Springs\, CA at venues and festivals such as Floydfest\, Rooster Walk\, Strawberry Fest\, Beer Bourbon & BBQ – as well as private performances and parties including the Jimmy Hendrix estate and multiple live appearances on CBS TV. \nThe band takes its name from an historic landmark of Richmond\, known as the Old Pump House at Byrd Park — the city’s second pumping station built over a century ago used to pump water from the canal up to a reservoir in the park. Just as its old reliable pumps ensured a smooth reliable flow of cooling waters\, so too the band can be counted on to deliver its smooth-flowing brand of cool live music sustenance. \nNew Songs just released on “I Gotta Go” album Dec 2022.

SUMMARY:Movie Night at the Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join the Mathews Historical Museum for a free movie night! Doors open at 6:30. movie starts at 7 PM. \n“A Voyage of Discovery\,” describes the 1608 travels of Captain John Smith\, who\, with a small crew\, set out from Jamestown on two exploratory voyages and covered the entire area of the Chesapeake Bay. The information he recorded about the indigenous peoples and the landscape introduced the region to those back home in England hoping to expand the colony\, eventually triggering a wave of colonization. Smith wrote of his journey: “There is but one entrance by sea into this country\, and that is at the mouth of a very goodly bay\, 18 or 20 miles broad. The cape on the south is called Cape Henry\, in honor of our most noble Prince. The land\, white hilly sands like unto the Downs\, and all along the shores rest plenty of pines and firs…Within is a country that may have the prerogative over the most pleasant places known\, for large and pleasant navigable rivers\, heaven and earth never agreed better to frame a place for man’s habitation.” \n  \n
