Jim Duncan, over at realcrozetva.com posted a picture of a chain going up across the lumberyard entrance at High Street.

Here's what I learned, from Ann Mallek, our supervisor:
"Here is what I know. The land was purchased by the bank at the auctiion. It is still for sale and various people are interested.
When buyers were picking up their purchased equipment after the auction, others were seen dumping trash and appliances… therefore the chain to get control of the property.

I have asked that room be created to allow people to turn around on High street.
More when I have it."

Help!  Volunteers needed to staff Crozet Culinary Competition on Thursday, September 20, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM or so.
