nrhp # 03000452- In 1752, the Philadelphia Baptist Association dispatched four missionaries to "Ketocton" (then in Fairfax County) and Mill Creek (then in Frederick County, from which Berkeley County split off in 1772 and became part of West Virginia in 1863) to bring them into fellowship with other Regular Baptist congregations.[3][4] On August 19, 1766, four Regular Baptist churches (Ketocton, Smith Creek Baptist, Mill Creek Baptist and Broad Run Baptist) disassociated from the Philadelphia Association and formed the Ketocton Association, which today includes nine historic churches.[5] In 1775, the association voted to support disestablishment of the Anglican church in Virginia. After the American Revolutionary War, at its 1797 annual meeting, the association recommended the gradual emancipation of slaves,[6] which proved controversial within the denomination. The association's minutes (and a history) through 1808 are available through several open sources.[7][8]
Ketoctin, which lent its name to the group and which may derive from the same Native American word as the nearby Catoctin Mountains to the north, is part of one group along Route 7 en route to Winchester, Virginia. Another group clusters along what is now U.S. 211, in the Shenandoah valley including New Market, Virginia. Ketoctin pastors David Major (1722-1796) and John Gerrard (1720-1787) founded or help found several congregations in Fairfax, Frederick and Loudoun counties.[9][10]
The association grew to 39 churches in 11 counties by 1820, when several churches split off to form the Columbia Baptist Association (for churches in or around the nation's capital).[11] In the 1890s the Ketocton Association renamed itself the Primitive Baptist Association, without any significant change in doctrine.
The current single-story, rectangular brick building with a gable roof in the Greek Revival style was built in 1854. It measures approximately 40 feet by 55 feet, and sits on a stone foundation. The interior features a trompe-l'œil painting attributed to Lucien Whiting Powell, a local artist (1846-1930).
Also located on the property is the contributing church cemetery with earliest grave recorded in 1777. It is enclosed by a fieldstone wall.

At 05:20, Wednesday July 18, 2012 Leamington Fire Services was dispatched to the Sunset Club at 47 Erie St. South in Leamington. There were reports of fire coming from a window on the second story.
Civilians who saw the fire rushed to wake up the tenants who lived above the business, pounding on doors, and shouting. Those residing in the building were able to get out to safety with out being harmed.
Leamington Fire Services arrived at 05:25 and were made aware that everyone was out of the building. Fire crews immediately took a defensive posture and started work from the outside. Mutual aid was requested, bringing in Kingsville and Lakeshore Fire Departments.
About 70 firefighters from the three departments fought the blaze for over 12 hours. Crews had to undergo an assessment by EMS at regular intervals due to the temperature being above 40 Celsius (100F) with saturated air due to the humidity.
The Sunset Club, and the apartments above are completely uninhabitable, as a result of the fire gutting the entire building. Several surrounding businesses have suffered extensive smoke, water, and fire damage as a result from battling the blaze.
The establishment used to be know by several names, including the Village Inn. Locals still often refer to it as the V.I. The building housed so much history, that has now been lost. It used to be a Speakeasy during Prohibition, with a bar in the basement that required a secret knock to enter, like most speakeasy's.
The Office of the Ontario Fire Marshall is still investigating on Friday, July 20. Early damage estimated are pegged at $2,000,000. I bystander was treated by EMS for smoke inhalation.

Seventeen very intriguing questions were sent out and the three submissions with the highest number of correct answers were presented with gift cards to Portillos.

Of all i knew
I held too few
And would you stop me?
If i tried to stop you?
Old songs, stay to the end
Sad songs, remind me of friends
And the way it is, i could leave it all
And i ask myself, would you care at all
When i drive alone at night
I see the streetlights as fairgrounds
And i tried a hundred times
To see the road signs as day-glow
Old songs, stay to the end
Sad songs, remind me of friends
And the way it is, i could leave it all
And i ask myself, would you care at all
