Are gasoline prices keeping you close to home but you want to get out and
enjoy a weekend away? Why not head to the Blue Ridge Mountains for the
special weekend Holiday for Hawks event September 22-24 that will be
showcasing hawk watching. This event is scheduled around the peak average
migration flights of Broad-winged Hawk. (Special Note: As of today, the
gasoline prices in Waynesboro and Staunton area continue to drop. For
example, Sunoco regular (87 octane) in downtown Waynesboro on Saturday
evening was $2.389/gallon and the following morning it was lowered to
$2.329; that's 6 cents overnight! Yesterday evening Sheetz at I-64 exit
94/Fishersville was $2.289 for regular. Rockfish Gap is at exit 99.)
The $5 Registration ($3 for each additional guest) includes the Basic Hawks
in Fight ID Workshop by Brenda Tekin and Butterfly and Dragonfly Workshop
