PETERSBURG - Adjectives used to describe Sunday s The Sycamore Steet Experience were amazing, wonderful, lively, awesome, positive, and crazy busy.
The block party attracted a steady stream of hundreds of people throughout the day who strolled up and down the street enjoying the diverse array of permanent businesses and their guest vendors, including Old Towne’s River Street Market.
DJ Foot’s steady beat kept things lively. Flautist Iris Schwartz briefly joined the acoustic Bowl’d Sojer Band, and they sounded terrific, together.
I ve captured dogs, chickens, and now goats enjoying Schwartz s performances. She is developing quite a variety of barnyard fans.
Prince George Master Gardeners affiliated with the Virginia Cooperative Extension, a Virginia Tech and Virginia State University partnership, were present sharing advice and knowledge with attendees. Ladies of Low Street Meanie and Feisty softened up a bit while listening to flutist Iris Schwartz perform.
According to Bobbie, the HPF selected the location for the event because it has a great yard and vantage point as well as high traffic volume. We want people to be aware and always remember the history of the Peter Jones Trading Station, said Bobbie.
HPF owns the Peter Jones Trading Station located at the most historic intersection in Petersburg just south of the Appomattox River: North Market Street and Grove Avenue.
Enjoy shopping, eating, listening to music performances, watch art demonstrations, and more at this inaugural event.

We re hoping this effort to promote shopping local becomes an annual full-blown festival, shared Petersburg Pickers owner Kimberly Ann Calos. This fun-filled event will showcase the amazing, diverse, and historic assets our growing block and thriving City has to offer. There s so much to see and do in our little part of Petersburg.
The public is invited to celebrate the fun, uptown block of Sycamore Street where there will be music, specialty shopping, El Mundo De Las Delicious restaurant preparing authentic Mexican food as well as other food vendors, artists, a special exhibit “Virginia Stores of the Past” at Second Hand Rose, and so much more.
Little Creek Kung Fu was present giving away free fitness equipment and apparel to Petersburg residents while Markus Copeland with Self Dreams led group exercises.
I had fun watching Fairytale Fiberworks owner Megan Morris grooming her English Angora rabbit Zeus. Morris will spin the fur into yarn to use in making items such as hats, gloves, and shawls.
Each Saturday, visitors can purchase breakfast and lunch items from market vendors and listen to live music while they dine.
Flutist Iris Schwartz of Colonial Heights was present sharing her talents. I witnessed a canine listening intently to Schwartz while she played the tune Going Home .
