The 3rd Annual Screamin’ 5K race will be held on Saturday, October 30th at the beautiful Spring Creek Community near Zion Crossroads, just outside Gordonsville, Virginia. The Screamin’ 5K was created by group of residents who live in Spring Creek as a family friendly and Halloween costume friendly race. Its purpose is to benefit the Zion Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department. Through a combination of race proceeds and donations from individuals and businesses, the Screamin’ 5K hopes to donate as much money as possible to the Zion Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department who works diligently on a daily basis to service the rapidly growing community around them. Last year, the race donated $3,500 to ZCVFD, which helped train 5 new EMT's, and purchased new life-saving equipment for the department.
To join the race or to volunteer, check out the Screamin' 5K website at www.screamin5k.com. Hope you see you there!

On a rainy Saturday, April 11, 2009, the Zion Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department opened the doors to the public with the annual Open House event. Despite a few rain showers, the members had quite a few area families drop by and see demonstrations by firefighters and EMTs. The clouds even stopped enough for the Easter bunny to drop by and hide some Easter eggs around the station for little visitors to find.
