      Packing boxes that get moved to Richmond.....and beyond. I drive right through.
      I brought a couple Brooklyn'ders through RVA a couple years back and they were impressed before we even parked.
      ( Free and available parking is enough to impress many....)

    Is the fashion show free to attend or are there tickets/donations required? Also what's the humidity/temp like in VA for the seasons?

    • @LaurenZRay
      @LaurenZRay  8 місяців тому +1

      Hey! 💚 Spring is low humidity. Summer is pretty intense, average humidity 64% google says. It’s just now getting more humid with the rain & heat.
      Tickets for the RVA Fashion show depend on the event and where your seats are. Sometimes $15 and sometimes up to $50-$85 each event. There is also an all inclusive pass to all events.
