Inaugural Henrico Baseball Classic planned for May
Henrico County and Premier Sporting Events of Virginia have created a new regional baseball tournament to be held in the county during Memorial Day weekend.
The inaugural Henrico Baseball Classic – the first “homegrown” event of the Henrico Sports & Entertainment Authority – will showcase dozens of youth travel and recreation league teams in tournament play May 26 through 29 at RF&P, Tuckahoe and Dorey parks. The tournament is open to teams in the 8-and-under through 14-and-under age divisions.
Can Virginia lawmakers find a way to fix the state’s ‘weird’ weed laws?
At a sleek new store called Cannabist in Richmond’s Carytown shopping district, anyone with an easy-to-obtain medical cannabis card can buy a full range of marijuana products strongly regulated by the Virginia Board of Pharmacy.
Right across the street, a vape shop has a sign advertising largely unregulated delta-8, which also gets users high but doesn’t run afoul of current marijuana laws because it’s derived from hemp plants.
Foster youth in Virginia colleges have nowhere to go during breaks. A bill wants to fix that.
