Good Morning, Williamsburg!

Zach here this week — I came across a joke I thought would give you all a laugh. How many tickles does it take to make an Octopus laugh?… Ten Tickles! Ha, okay a little corny, but this week’s letter is much better. 😁

Today’s Order:
- The Lowdown (local news) 🗞️
- Local Trivia 🤓
- Local Events 🥳 (sneak peek at some MAJOR upcoming events)
- Local Real Estate 🏠
- Local Live Music 🎤

Let’s get into it. 🏃

The Lowdown 📰🗞️

‼️‼️Camel, Ostrich, and Zebra Races are Just a Month Away! 🏁🐫🦓
Mark your calendars! Close to Williamsburg, Colonial Downs in New Kent recently released their 2025 summer racing schedule which will kick off with camel, ostrich, and zebra races! Definitely not one to miss. Later this summer will be the return of the wiener dogs. And of course, PLENTY of horse racing all summer long! See More

Reminder from The Early Burg 😁
Life gets busy. Just a reminder Father’s Day is around the corner on June 15th. Book him a round of golf (check out our sponsor’s course, I play there frequently and always have a great time), take him to the new Mission Impossible movie, or grill him up a nice steak. Just a few ideas I know all fathers would appreciate.

A note from our partner:

Just up the road from Williamsburg, discover Brickshire Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course designed to challenge and inspire. With five sets of tees ranging from 4,892 to 7,291 yards, it’s a rewarding experience for every level of golfer. Signature holes pay homage to legends like Augusta National and St. Andrews, while elevation changes and natural wetlands ensure no two holes play the same. After your round, unwind at The Brickshire Bar & Grille. Overlooking the scenic 18th hole, you can enjoy a hand-crafted burger or signature sandwich with a cold drink, indoors or out on the terrace. Your unforgettable day starts here.

Visit our website to book a tee time or check out our menu from the Grille.

Williamsburg Trivia 🧐🤓
