Maryann, Zel, and David getting No Limits Eastern Shore T-Shirts ready for sale at the Chincoteague Farmers Market!

Handmade cat toys, made by members of No Limits and volunteers from YouthWorks, that contain locally grown catnip (from our own garden) were sold at the Farmers Market too!

Brandon visited C L and Maryann at the Chincoteague Farmers Market and got to see the No Limits table all set up.  It was a good day!

Another angle of the No Limits table.  Nice silly face C L!

Brandon bought a native Rose Mallow Hibiscus for the No Limits pollinator garden.  Thank you Brandon!

We have officially added Jason and Samantha to the Health and Safety Team!  Great work inspecting the vans and keeping us safe.

Steve having a good time getting to know new friends.

Zel and Brandon putting together a new weed trimmer.  Steve says that “trimming weeds is an important and great skill to learn!”

Our Walking Trail Assessment Team went out to assess the Cape Charles walking trail this week.

Although the trail had a few accessibility concerns, it was overall a great walk and we enjoyed assessing it!  Our Walking Trails page will be updated to reflect this new assessment over the next week.

Brandon was happy to see dunes and native plant life reestablished along the Cape Charles trail.  He says that having the dunes (and plants) back will help prevent flooding in town.  Awesome!

A nice shot of the park in Cape Charles that can be found along the walking trail.  Brandon says he was “admiring the plant life”.

Jason is all smiles and happy to be at No Limits!

David hand feeding the No Limits’ hens some grass.  Don’t get pecked David!

The No Limits Hot Dog Cart has a leaky water line.  It’s okay though, we are working on getting it fixed as soon as we can!  In this picture you see all hands on deck loading the cart up to take to the shop.  Good work!

Prank of the week!  Brandon and Adrian say that this is Kyle’s new chauffeur.  Hahaha!

Our Friday morning crew discussing current events happening on Virginia’s Eastern Shore!  Great to see you Steve and Samantha!

All hands on deck to keep the yard looking beautiful!  Great work.

Brandon doing a great job to keep the yard looking tidy as well.

Brandon was mixing already nutrient rich compost from our smaller composter into the new, yet-to-be-compost materials that are in our larger compost tumbler.

Mixing the batter for Amy’s birthday cake.  We really like this picture of Zel and Maryann!

Happy birthday Amy, and many, many more!

During Amy’s birthday party, we also wished Amy and her long time companion, Sherry, “good luck” and shared a bittersweet “goodbye” with them.  They are ready to start some new adventures and we hope to see you all again real soon!

Zel says “We will miss you Sherry!  Come back and see us soon.  Brandon wanted to add that “Sherry is looking very cool” in this picture. 🙂

Although we found that we prefer classic jigsaw puzzles, these new vertical puzzles were pretty intriguing to try out!

Brandon doing what he does best, helping to keep everything clean!  Good work Brandon!

The old shed needed to be emptied and broken down into pieces and YouthWorks Week 7 knocked all of that work out in one morning – nice!

Everything from the old shed needed to be moved to the brand new (and VERY NICE) new shed pictured here beyond the No Limits’ yard sign!

Our “crab shack” or covered gazebo needed to be reorganized as well for better use in its new spot.  Week 7 volunteers also helped us with this!

Organizing the new shed!  It is so nice!

Taking a break from hard work in the shade!

Taking down the old shed.

The old shed needed washing too before it could be stored.

Week 7 y’all rock!  Thanks again for your help and making memories with us!

Making good use of our portable washing machine.  We are really getting the hang of the assembly of it.  Thanks for your help Zel!

We enjoyed the free showing of the “Misty the Pony” Movie at the Island Theatre this week.  Afterward we enjoyed lunch and got to see some ponies in real life!  It was nice!

Italian ice for the chickens!  (It’s not really Italian ice, we make the No Limits’ hens frozen corn treats for the hot summer days!)

Happy birthday Corina, and many, many more!

David says “Look at the fruits of our harvest!”  Zel says “That looks exquisite and scrumptious!”  Amy says “The cantaloupe was THE BOMB!”  All of this produce was grown in the No Limits Community Garden. 🙂

David grilling up some burgers for the Elton Trower Memorial Cook Out.  Our dear friend, Grandmaster Elton Trower, unfortunately passed away in July of 2015 and it has become a tradition to celebrate his life each July with a classic cook out.

We were so pleased that Elton’s family was able to make it to the memorial cook out as well!  Thank you so much for joining us!

Long-time member of No Limits, Matt, hand made these posters in 2016 when we held our first Elton Trower Memorial Cook Out.  Elton and Matt were great friends, and to honor Elton’s life, as well as their friendship, Matt made these posters in his memory.
