Henrico County Government has announced a series of community initiatives, including the inaugural Varina Fair and a new round of environmental grant funding, according to recent posts on its official X (formerly Twitter) account.
On October 2, 2025, Henrico County Government promoted an upcoming event: “Check out a new, free community event this Saturday! The inaugural Varina Fair is set for 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 4 at Dorey Park, 2999 Darbytown Road. * Car, truck & bike show * Line dance show * Boy Scouts demonstrations * Music by DJ Smooth * Vendors, food trucks & door prizes”. In a follow-up post on the same day, the county added that “Varina Fair is hosted by Henrico County & American Legion Varina Post 233. Details: https://t.co/Gs04S3cRYT”.
The next day, Henrico County Government highlighted another initiative aimed at supporting local nonprofits with environmental goals: “Got an idea that would improve the environment? Henrico’s Environmental Action Resource Team (HEART) invites nonprofit organizations to apply for the second round of funding through its Community Impact Grants Program. For details & a link to apply: https://t.co/8H7Re9Fzce https://t.co/tCWnrY7H92”.
Henrico County serves as home to the Henrico County Public Schools District, which enrolled over 50,000 students in the 2023-24 academic year—a figure that represents a slight increase from previous years (source). Deep Run High School reported the highest enrollment among all schools in the district during that period (source). Black students comprised the largest ethnic group within Henrico schools during this time frame (source). Holladay Elementary led in pre-kindergarten enrollment across the county’s elementary schools (source).
These community efforts reflect ongoing engagement between Henrico County Government and its residents through public events and support for local organizations.
