WHIP CRACKING IN RICHMOND VA

Post by Canasta »

Howdy all.
I'm gonna be cracking whips at the Virginia State Fair this September 26 - October 7th.
If there is anyone around, I'd love to get together while I'm in town. Crack some whips, have dinner (I love to eat) talk gear, etc.
I'm really looking forward to it. I hear Richmond is a great place. I hope to catch some sights too.
Can anyone recommend any sights?
Who's a VA rep?


All the best,
Chris Camp - Canasta

I'm in Alexandria. But I've never been to Richmond before (I'm only here because my dad is in the military). But if you plan on visiting the DC area too, then their's plenty.

You could go to any Civil War sites down there in the Richmond area. There's plenty throughout Virginia.

You guys HAVE to get down there to see Chris. The man's whip skills are incredible. I don't know if he'll have his fire whips there, but it has to be seen to be believed. My pictures below don't do them justice.

Road trip may be a cool idea...though after my ticket coming back from vacation, I may need a ride through VA. I don't plan on paying the astronomical dues (on top of fines) they've implemented to gain driving priveledges back. We'll see later when I call to check.
