Small Business Spotlight- Spot of Color
π₯Small Business Spotlightπ₯
Opening in March of 2020, right as COVID happened, Spot of Color is a fine art supply store with a classroom/community hangout space. Located at 333 West Main Street (at the corner of Main Street and Russell Road with the Washington County, VA Historical Society), Hana Eichin wanted to create a hub for artists of all levels. With an emphasis on eco-friendly supplies like quality paints, brushes, and mediums, they also offer classes and demonstrations. Check out their website for the current class schedule and to register online- https://www.spotofcolor.com/. In-person classes will start back on May 3, 2021. When classes are not taking place in the classroom, it doubles as a free studio for any community members who need a space to work on projects during regular business hours.
You
can buy art supplies, take classes, work on your creative projects, sell your
creations, and buy local artwork all in one place. Just remember that the earth
without art is just “eh.”

Scoop the Poop from your Pooch!
The Town has installed several new Dog Waste Removal Stations along the Urban Pathway. We have been receiving reports that people are not picking up dog deposits throughout the town and along high-traffic pedestrian areas. We want to remind everyone that per town ordinance (10-51), “Any person who is the owner, possessor, or custodian of any animal shall immediately collect, remove and dispose of all feces left by such animal on any public property or any private property not owned and/or lawfully occupied by such person.”- in other words, please scoop the poop!
When walking your pet, always carry
plastic bags or grab one from the removal stations. Use a bag to pick up dog
waste, tie the bag closed, and throw it in the trash. No one wants to step in
dog poop, and it is a risk to the health of the community. Do your “doody,” and
clean up after your pet!
