Welcome to the Beaverdam Honorary Mayor Site!

Kevin Larkin aka "Hatchet" - Beaverdam Depot

I'm Kevin Larkin also known as Hatchet, I'm 56 yrs.old, I grew up in Beaverdam until I was about 20 years old.  I moved away for awhile but now I’m back to the place I consider home. I am a Boeing employee and work in Springfield VA, a commute huh? l enjoy hunting and fishing and just the great outdoors especially in Da Dam. I am president and founder of an organization I started called Hounds4RHeroes in which we run hounds in competition hunts to raise money for our disabled veterans or just veterans who could use our help, I was never in the service but thought of a way I could help and give back.  I have a bunch of friends in the Dam that got involved and we have raised some nice funds for our Vets. I work shift work so can't be in my so called Mayberry as much as I would like but when I’m there I LOVE TO "DO DA DAM" as much as possible. Looking forward to having fun raising money for the Honorary Mayor of Beaverdam and all in which it stands for. LET'S DO DA DAM RIGHT

Your Name Here

        The Honorary Mayor of Beaverdam started in 2008 as a means for 3 Beaverdam area Non-Profits to raise funds and have fun while doing so.  The "Mayor" has no true authority but can have fun playing candidate to raise money for The Depot, Heritage Days Foundation, American Legion Post 90 and The Beaverdam Ruritan Club. The funds/votes are tallied with the Mayor announced at The Heritage Days Celebration the 2nd Saturday in October. The Mayor is the guest of honor at the Mayor's Ball in March choosing the band and having a say in the details of the food. The Honorary Mayor is also the Grand Marshall for the Ruritan's Independence Day Celebration. 
Creative efforts are made to get folks to vote with dollars - $1.00 a vote. Funds are then donated  to their campaigns. This year we have seen a Beer, Beard and BBQ event, horseback rides and raffles to raise funds - get votes. Each year the candidates come up with creative fundraising events for all to enjoy.
It creates an opportunity to gather, have fun and raise money for the area. All 4 organizations give it all back to Beaverdam.
Win - Win - Win.
