Now showing in the July/August 2013 issue of Virginia Living, our feature presentation is a celebration of cinema under the stars as we tour the Commonwealth s nine drive-in movie theaters. We also visit historic Castle Hill in Albemarle County, where a new readers and writers series of retreats is reviving the plantation s literary tradition, and enjoy summer's crop of sweet melon. In our special new Dental Health section we focus on Operation Smile, an organization celebrating 30 years of performing life-changing surgeries in the developing world. Also inside: We share a pint or two with Kevin O Connor and get the inside story of how he founded O Connor Brewing Co. in Norfolk. We also meet media maven Sheila Johnson as she prepares to open Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, find out why the 10 members of Richmond s No BS! Brand march to their own beat, go back in time to play some vintage base ball (two words) at Oatlands Plantation in Leesburg, get you prepped for a smashing good time at demolition derbies this summer, learn how the Virginia Farm Bureau saved the State Fair, and much more.
