Fork Union Military Academy's Post Graduate basketball program is legendary. Lead by coach Fletcher Arritt for decades, the court is named after him and his wife, Betty Jean. The biggest rival of the PG team is Hargrave Military Academy. A game the Corps attends is a great experience. The team plays in the Thomas Gymnasium.

Fluvanna County High School's gymnasium floor is named after legendary coach, Munro Rateau. Coach Rateau coached from over 30 years and over 500 wins. The Flying Flucos went to back to back Final Fours in the 1990s and 2010s.

Once a cattle & hay farm, we purchased the Bragg Farm in 2011 and started the process of transformation from hay to grapes and steaks to wine. CCW planted the original vines in 2013 with successive plantings since then. Today, they have approximately 14 acres of French varietals, which Bruce Deal turns into wine and their great staff and Debby Deal sell in the Tasting Room as well as selected restaurants & shops. The strawberry wine is surprisingly good, fairly dry, not unlike a rose’. They also make wide range of locally-produced wines, ranging in price from $18-$30 per bottle.
