Bring NBC's The Event to Petersburg, VA for an early viewing party with snacks and giveaways!

Each of the five winning cities will get a premiere of NBC's "The Event" starring Blair Underwood and Jason Ritter.

Actor and former Petersburg resident Blair Underwood is pushing for Petersburg as a possible location to premiere his new NBC series "The Event," a political thriller in which he plays the President of the United States.

"All it takes is for people to vote for their city," Underwood told The Progress-Index. "I think it would be great for Petersburg to host the premiere because it would pick up right at the Oscar Night in March," he said.

Science Museum of Virginia Green Acre Farm Harvest

Thursday, August 19th - 10 AM

Kids from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Richmond will help harvest produce from the Science Museum of Virginia's Green Acre Farm on Thursday, Aug. 19, at 10 a.m. Representatives from the Central Virginia Food Bank will be on hand to collect and later distribute the harvest. The Science Museum of Virginia has already donated 1,000 pounds to the Food Bank and more is on the way.

All summer volunteers have been helping maintain the Green Acre. Help has come from many places including Richmond Public School third graders from five different schools, who started seedlings for the Pizza Garden. It features ingredients you would find on a pizza - tomatoes, peppers and basil. A fall planting is now in the works.
