Presented by Richmond Really Sews! in collaboration with the Poe Museum, Frocktails 2025 will celebrate Richmond’s thriving Sewist community while honoring the city’s most enduring literary figure. Far more than a fashion show, each unique outfit, designed and made by a local creative Sewist, will tell a story in which literature and fashion meet. From the brooding mystery of The Raven to the haunting beauty of Annabelle Lee, each outfit will draw its inspiration from the writer’s haunting tales and poems that continue to echo worldwide.
Highlights:
* Runway Show: Original designs representing different periods and moods of Poe’s life.
* Poe-Themed Reception: Signature drinks and bites inspired by the gothic imagination of the 19th century.
* Community Spotlight: Recognition of Richmond’s vibrant sewing and maker community, with proceeds supporting Richmond Really Sews.

The League of Women Voters of the Charlottesville Area is bringing new opportunities for community voices to be heard and for voters to prepare for the upcoming election.

From late September through October, the League will host a series of Listening Tables across Charlottesville and Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson counties. Listening Tables are small, informal gatherings that bring community members and candidates together—not for debates, but for conversations. These events give residents the chance to share what matters most in their daily lives and allow candidates to listen directly, in advance of the November 4th election.

One of these Listening Tables will be held for Albemarle County residents in the Samuel Miller Voting District to meet with their local candidates seeking election. The event will be held at the North Garden Volunteer Fire Department on Sunday, October 19th from 2:00 to 3:30 pm.

Add Your Voice at the Table—because democracy works best when everyone is heard! For more information and event updates, visit https://www.lwv-cva.org.
