Set aside Saturday, February 25, 2012 for a wonderful evening of entertainment close to home. Plan to make a full evening of it with dinner at one of our local restaurants followed by a musical treat from Plunky & Oneness. Invite friends and family to join you and you'll all have a great time. We are fortunate to have such a variety of acts performing a short drive away.

This group is back by popular demand so make sure you reserve your tickets before it is too late. This performance could well sell out. Make the most of it and see how many events you can attend.

MARKET REPORT - LAKE ANNA...Water Access Lots SOLD in 2011

There are three counties bordering Lake Anna. They are Louisa, Spotsylvania, and Orange Counties. Both Louisa and Spotsylvania encompass the majority of the countryside around Lake Anna while Orange County covers a much smaller section in the northwest area of the lake. This market report lists the 26 water access lots sold during 2011.

Water access lots are lots located off water. When we talk about water access lots we are actually including four categories:

1. Water Access with a boat slip
2. Water Access withouut an assigned boat slip
3. Water View with an assigned boat slip
4. 4. Water view without an assigned boat slip

Prices generally range from below $20,000 to over one hundred thousand dollars. Price is naturally based on a number of factors. They are:

• View of Lake Anna
• Square footage
• With or without assigned boat slip
• Lot condition
• Community amenities (including depth of water at common area/boat slips

Things that do not determine market value:

• Whether it is on the main lake or on the private side
• County location

Of all the types of properties sold at Lake Anna, water access lots without assigned boat sllips are generally the least expensive and have depreciated substantially during the recent recession.

Information obtain from the Metropolitan Regional Information System (MRIS) and is deemed to be reliable.

We are so lucky to have a super neat shop close to Lake Anna. The Fabric Hut and Gift Gallery is full of gift items and this is the perfect time of the year to make a visit. While there I saw a number of items perfect for others and I know you'll be tempted, as I was, by items that you would like to have too. There are personal as well as many household items to choose from.

Simply walking inside puts you in the holiday spirit.

One of the nice things about Fabric Hut is the way they display their wares. It is artfully done and makes it a pleasure to stroll around gazing at one thing after the other. I had quite a time taking photos. You will have an equally enjoyable time shopping there.

Be sure to make Fabric Hut one of your stops while out Christmas shopping. You may well be able to check a number of presents off your list plus you'll no doubt find a few items that you won't want to resist for youself.

Fabric Hut is located in downtown Louisa across from the Courthouse.
