There is a fresh, new look on Urbanna’s Rappahannock Avenue as the Urbanna Oyster Festival Foundation (UOFF) has cleared out the underbrush on the 3.5 acres recently purposed by the foundation.

Affordable Lawn Care of Urbanna and After Hours Site Works LLC of Locust Hill have removed the thicket on this land next to the Urbanna town-owned Taber Park.

UOFF purchased the property with help from a $140,000 grant from Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF). The land was purchased to assure open space inside the town limits to enhance the future of the oyster festival. During the festival, UOFF uses the land for events.
