Educational Seminar: Cottage Law & Inspected Kitchens
Would you like clarity on what you can sell under Cottage Law (and where)? Have you ever wondered what benefits you may have by applying for an inspected kitchen? Are you overwhelmed by the idea of an inspected kitchen? You're not alone!
Join us as we host Rashelly Bland, Food Safety Manager with VDACS as we clarify state guidelines for home food production and sales. An open Q&A time will follow, along with support for completing an application for an inspected kitchen.
This seminar is hosted after-hours at Quarterfield Markets and is free, open to the public. Registration is requested: https://forms.gle/Y2k9eqJgkdzqjqne6
Light Refreshments start at 5:45 PM, Seminar kicks off at 6 PM
Beginner Swing & intermediate carolina shag dance class series
Join instructors, Roger and Denise Underhill, for this 6-week beginner swing and intermediate Carolina Shag dance class series!
Whether you're a smooth mover or a two-left-footed rookie, these partner dance lessons are the perfect way to ignite your groove.
The beginner class at 6:00 pm will guide you through the fundamentals - moving together, leading and following, and turning those fumbles into fancy footwork.
For seasoned dancers, the 7:30 pm Intermediate Carolina Shag class ups the ante with intricate patterns and challenges to keep you on your toes (and tapping them!).
No partner? No problem! Both classes welcome solo adventurers and couples. Before you know it, you'll be gliding across the floor wherever music plays, leaving a trail of rhythm and smiles in your wake. So, come on down and let's dance!
Highlights:
- Beginner & Intermediate classes for all levels
- Learn classic blues, R&B, soul, and beach music moves
- Friendly atmosphere for solo dancers and couples
- Triple-step your way to confidence and fun!

Saturday Under the Stars
Join astronomers from the Richmond Astronomical Society for a night of awe and wonder. Roam around to take a look through their many kinds of telescopes and chat with the astronomers about the stars, constellations, and planets visible in the night sky. You may also bring your own telescope or binoculars to get assistance from experienced astronomers. Feel free to bring comfortable chairs or blankets to lean back and enjoy an expansive view of the sky.
To preserve the night vision of our visitors and wildlife, please use minimal lighting when entering and leaving the parking lot, and only use flashlights with red-colored light.
Register here to let us know you're coming. While not required for this program, it is recommended! If you register, we will be able to contact you if the program is cancelled due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
Second Saturday Festival at Quarterfield Markets
Quarterfield Markets is a permanent home to over 40 local artisans, craftsman, bakers, growers and producers.
On the second Saturday of each month, April - December, we invite pop-up vendors, food trucks and beverage carts to join us for a special, once-a-month event. Our core vendors ramp up their inventory, provide samples of their products and special sales. Interact with our vendors, shop expanded inventory and sample products.
There's always something fun for the kids, including a barnyard. Each month brings something different, so stay tuned for updates.
