On Saturday, June 3, from Noon to 5pm, the historic community of Thoroughfare, Virginia will celebrate the First Annual Thoroughfare Day at Oakrum Baptist Church, 16419 Thoroughfare Road, Broad Run, Virginia 20137. Please join us in celebrating the heritage and history of Thoroughfare, a community of Native Americans and African Americans whose rich history dates back hundreds of years.

The family-friendly gathering will feature cultural performances by the Spiritually United Gospel Group, the Spiritual Harmonizers, and Bach to Rock; a kid’s area with a moon-bounce, games, corn-husk doll making, face painting and story-telling; local food and ice-cream trucks; and an old-fashioned cake walk.. The first fifty children to arrive will receive their own Sacajawea Silver Dollars and free ice-cream!

In addition, there will be fund-raising auction to support Thoroughfare’s legal struggle to stop the desecration of their community cemeteries.

Suggested donations to Thoroughfare Day are $10 per person and $20 per family. Make plans to bring the entire family on June 3.
