Take a long pause at the end of the summer with a quiet reading night. You can bring a favorite book to immerse yourself in, just to sit with us and enjoy some quiet company. Or you can bring an extra copy of a favorite to trade as part of a blind date with a book.

Anyone who wants to participate in the blind date with a book can bring a book they enjoy (but don't mind giving away), wrapped in plain paper and with a 1-2 sentence description on the front. We'll trade around and then unwrap.

Kids are welcome, if they will enjoy a quiet reading environment.

The Tiny Porch concert series is a 100% grassroots event organized by neighbors in Woodland Heights.

Held on Sunday evenings from June to October, each Tiny Porch event revolves around three host porches featuring two sets of musical performances throughout the evening. This encourages the audience to enjoy a relaxed opportunity to explore the charming streets of Woodland Heights and for neighbors "to come together, share smiles, engage in conversations, and relish in the music of local, diverse Richmond artists."

Come join the Easons in a relaxed, family-friendly setting of music and fellowship to see the talented artists Richmond has to offer on Sunday, July 21st, from 4-7 p.m. The event takes place at three different but close-together addresses. We will move from one porch to another as each concert begins/ends. Meet-up information will be sent out the week before the event.
