March 2021
Mar 1-13
Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 13 for the triannual Empty Bowls Soup Sale to benefit the Patrick
County Food Bank. This year's event is being held in
memory of former director and food security advocate
Joni Hunt, and is being sponsored by the Patrick County Chamber of Commerce and the Reynolds Homestead. Because of the pandemic, the event will look a bit
different this year. Residents will be able to purchase
soups online from participating restaurants and
organizations at $10 per quart, then pick them up on
Saturday, March 13th from 10 until 1 at Rotary. For every 2 quarts
purchased, you will receive a commemorative bowl.
Soups will go on sale at the end of February, so keep your
eyes open for your opportunity to support the Food
Bank. The pandemic has created additional needs in our
community, and the proceeds provided by this project
will help families with food security.

Tour Logistics
? Currently, each site has the tour for 5 full weeks.
• The starting date of each site is a Saturday, the closing date is a Sunday.
Timing Between Sites
? We have left 2 full weeks between each site, to allow for packing, shipping, and unpacking. Each
site will need to work with the site adjacent to them on the schedule to determine the best
timing for shipping/ arrival, so that the new site has ample time to set up the exhibition before
their opening date
Next Steps
? VAM will be announcing the final tour schedule on Friday, December 18th. After that point, you
are welcome and encouraged to share the news of your spot on the tour with your local press,
and start getting people excited!!
? We will have a series of online conversations with all 6 sites in the new year; in the meantime,
you should be receiving a packet of resources from the Smithsonian to help you get started with
your planning.
? Normally, the Smithsonian sends staff with the exhibition to the first site on tour, in this case
Hanover County Museum of History and Culture. It is good for each site on the tour to have
someone at that installation so you can see how to do it when the exhibition arrives at your site.
Because we aren’t sure what COVID will look like in August, please set aside the week before the
exhibition opening of August 28, 2021—we may move this installation demo to an online
format, or we may be able to welcome people to Hanover to see the demo in person.
