Tonight, we are proud to shine a spotlight on three more of the wonderful sponsors who helped make RivahFest possible — including helping us bring in that incredible stage for an unforgettable day of music and entertainment. Events like this truly take a community, and we are so grateful for the businesses and neighbors who continue to step forward to help bring our town to life.

Virginia Building Solutions, LLC is a true staple of our community. From their headquarters at Brays Fork on Hospital Road, this repeat “Best of Virginia” winner has spent more than two decades designing and building custom modular homes for families across the region and throughout the Commonwealth. Their reputation for quality and care speaks for itself, and it is exciting to see a local company thriving while helping others build the homes and lives they dream of. We are incredibly thankful for their support of RivahFest and all they do for our area.

Rappahannock Electric Cooperative serves more than 185,000 members across portions of 22 Virginia counties — an amazing reach that reflects just how important they are to so many communities. But their impact goes far beyond providing electricity. Through their support of events like RivahFest, REC continues to invest in the people and places that make our region special. Their bright yellow trucks are a familiar sight across our communities, and their commitment to service, reliability, and community involvement never goes unnoticed. We are deeply appreciative of their partnership.

And finally, we want to send a heartfelt thank you to Chucky’s Pump Repair and Well Drilling LLC If you’ve spent time at local events, chances are you’ve seen their name supporting good things throughout the community — from Third Thursdays to the Tappahannock Farmers Market and WinterFest, just to name a few. Their continued willingness to support local events says so much about the kind of people they are. We are honored they chose to support RivahFest, and we truly encourage anyone in need of well drilling or pump repair services to keep them in mind. Lisa and the entire team are an absolute joy to work with, and we are grateful for their kindness, generosity, and community spirit.

We want to take a moment to recognize one of the businesses that helped make RivahFest possible.

What many people may not realize is that even with an incredible team of volunteers, putting on RivahFest is still a major undertaking — and an expensive one. Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be highlighting some of the businesses and organizations that stepped up to help bring this event to life. Quite simply, we could not do this without them.

Please remember to support the businesses that support our community.

First up is River City Golf Carts. We truly could not have pulled this event off without the help of Cole Trible and his team. Whether it’s RivahFest or one of the other community events throughout the year, River City Golf Carts is always among the first to jump in and lend a hand.

They are wonderful neighbors, dependable partners, and genuine friends to the Tappahannock community. And whether you’re looking to rent or purchase, we are fortunate to have a business like this right here in our backyard serving our region.

Thank you, River City Golf Carts, for everything you do for our town and for RivahFest.

River City Golf Carts is a locally owned, grown & operated business serving the needs of golf cart customers in Tappahannock VA & surrounding areas

Here are some images shared with us by our friend Mary Parker. Mary lives in the Customs House, so she had a unique perspective on the "mob" that charged down the hill to reenact the confrontation of Archibald Ritchie over enforcement of the Stamp Act. The addition of historic elements was a popular element of RivahFest this year. Who thinks we should keep this going?
