This year was no different, as people packed Town Point Park so tightly it was difficult to walk through it at times. Police estimated that 120,000 people attended on Saturday and again Monday, said Mark C. Madison, the festival director. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/05/thousands-attend-afram-fests-25th-annual-event Mon, 26 May 2008 20:10:26 -0400 NORFOLK It's called "The 1st Lazy Lizzy River Anything-That-Floats-But-A-Boat Race!"

Ellis, who has wielded many a shovel at groundbreakings as a leader in commercial real estate development in Hampton Roads and the Mid-Atlantic region since 1974, will now have to get used to handling a royal scepter. He has been named King Neptune XXXV. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/03/douglas-d-ellis-reign-king-neptune-xxxv Sun, 16 Mar 2008 16:22:49 -0400 NORFOLK Self-billed as "Norfolk’s most foolish tradition," the Occasional Downtown Doo Dah Parade is returning this year for its 11th edition, assuming anyone really is keeping count, which would seem to go against the tradition of bucking conformity. It is slated to commence at noon on March 28, stepping off on Main Street. And organizers are looking for participants. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/03/foolish-tradition-norfolks-doo-dah-parade-back Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:21:58 -0500 ... http://hamptonroads.com/2008/03/williamsburg-film-festival-0 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:01:00 -0500
