Orange County Celebrates Our Volunteers!
By: Orange County Communications
This month, Orange County is celebrating all volunteers who help our organization function. From the Visitor ’ s Center to the Animal Shelter, we are so grateful to the citizens who take time out of their day to help.
When people come to Orange County, their first stop is at the Visitor ’ s Center, where Ruth Pavlik kindly greets anyone who walks through the door. “ Everyone who comes here has a different interest or agenda or they don ’ t know anything about Orange County, ” Pavlik said. As an Orange County citizen for many years, Ruth has a story for every area of Orange County including where to eat and variety of historical locations including Montpelier and the Wilderness Battlefield. “ A lot of people that come in love history, and others come in to watch the trains go by, ” Pavlik said. Located in the old train station, the Visitor ’ s Center displays everything the County has to offer. In addition to our Visitor ’ s Center, the Animal Shelter captures the hearts of anyone who walks through the door.

Gary Brown has been volunteering at the Animal Shelter for three (3) years after the passing of his 19 - year - old Jack Russel. He originally come to the Shelter just to be with dogs, but soon developed a bond with many dogs whom he takes on daily walks. Brown and a dog named Dodge have a special bond.
