Good morning, Charlottesville.

The Longest Day car, truck and motorcycle show held at Sam’s Club on Hilton Heights Road raised funds and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association in Charlottesville.

Organizers Ronnie and Sandy Snoddy, who started the event after a personal loss, said the show honors all those affected by the disease—emphasizing community strength.

A program at the Carver Recreation Center honored African American military service by sharing stories of sacrifice and bravery.

The event, titled 'Commemorating the African American Military Experience: Telling Our Stories,' aimed to preserve voices missing from history and inspire future generations.

Pumpkin spice flavors are now found in Grounds dining halls, coffee shops and bakeries as fall begins, offering drinks and baked goods that mark the season.

Some college students enjoy the taste while others are not as fond—fueling a light debate on campus.

A state government report showed that more high school students enrolled in community colleges as the system grew and changed.

They will play again Tuesday at Turf Field against No. 7 Liberty, with the game set to air on ACCNX.

Virginia’s women won a dual meet against Florida in Gainesville as they swept sprint events, but the men lost by 32 points because the team no longer sponsors varsity diving—Florida’s divers scored uncontested points that erased a slight morning lead.
