🇺🇸⛵️Sailfest Cape Charles delivered a picture-perfect Finale to Day 1 of an unforgettable America 🇺🇸 250 celebration.

As dusk turned to darkness on Saturday, the night shimmered with fireworks 🎆 that painted the sky in brilliant bursts of color ! Swirls of intricate patterns 🎇exploded high above the 3 imposing masts of the majestic tall ship Kalmar Nyckel below. Definitely awesome!!!

The vibrant explosions💥 were reflected in the harbor’s calm waters, creating a scene illuminated both from above and below. It was a spectacular display of celebration 🎉 and community, the grand Finale to a fabulous day at the Sailfest Cape Charles celebration of 🇺🇸Virginia America 250🇺🇸

But these photos capture just a few minutes from the end of a remarkable Saturday, a fabulous day that brought Shore neighbors, thousands of visitors, Virginia history and spirit of America 🇺🇸250 together under beautiful 💙summer sky in Cape Charles.

A huge thank you is owed to the many, many folks whose efforts made this fabulous event possible ! 👏👏👏

This is so interesting ! No doubt in the future, there will be other crops that can be treated in this manner to reduce pesticides. 

Strawberries are one of the most pesticide-intensive crops in America.

Keeping them free from mold, insects, and disease often requires repeated chemical treatments throughout the growing season. For decades, that has simply been accepted as part of growing the fruit.

Now a robotics company in California is trying to change that.

Instead of spraying pesticides, their solution uses light.

A company called TRIC Robotics has developed autonomous machines that move through strawberry fields after dark. The tractor-sized robots use UV-C light, a powerful form of ultraviolet radiation capable of damaging bacteria, fungi, and other harmful organisms that threaten crops.

The idea is surprisingly simple.

Many of the diseases that attack strawberries are vulnerable to UV-C light. By exposing plants to carefully controlled doses at night, farmers can reduce disease pressure without relying as heavily on chemical sprays.

The robots can cover up to 100 acres of farmland and are equipped with specialized systems that remove pest residue while avoiding damage to the plants themselves. Operating after sunset allows the treatment to work effectively while staying out of the way of normal farm operations.
