Emporia, Virginia. An emporium filled with wonders. Sorry, had to.

There are activities for all ages galore, and the Meherrin River Arts Council is always sure to spice things with their musical performance lineup. The city also has created its very own unique culture with events like the annual Virginia Pork Festival, where 15,000 people participate in serving and eating 20 tons of pork prepared in 30 different ways. The people of Emporia are such hams! Are you a biker? Emporia is home to the Great Peanut Tour, a festival that draws thousands of people from all over the US each year to watch, or take part in, a 13 to 125 mile bike route around the city, a parade, fireworks, car show, carnival, and craft fair.
We Don’t Need No Education.
Parents and the school district of Emporia tend to disagree with Pink Floyd on this one. Emporia works to ensure that your child receives the best education within the Greensville County Public School District (http://www.greensville.k12.va.us/education/components/scrapbook/default.php?sectionid=1). The small size of the district will allow your child to develop strong and lasting relationships with their teachers and peers. The state of Virginia is also known for its exceptional universities and colleges like College of William and Mary, St. Paul’s College and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
Don’t Bother Me, I’m Eating.
All this talk of family fun and school is making me hungry. How would you feel about having the best burger of all time? If that sounds like a good to you then try Five Guys Burgers and Fries at 916 W. Atlantic St. How ‘bout some authentic BBQ? Wilson’s BBQ and Grill at 769 Main St. is a meat-eaters dream…but don’t be afraid to order a salad here! Okay, so now that your thighs have officially turned on you, you can start thinking about other things, like planning your night!
