Fox 5 will broadcast from Manassas tomorrow morning

Manassas will be on local primetime TV tomorrow morning.

The news crew from WTTG Channel 5 morning news will broadcast live from Harris Pavilion in Downtown Manassas.

The feature is called Fox 5’s “Zip Trip.”

Here’s the press release from Channel 5:

Join FOX 5 Reporter Holly Morris and Meteorologist Tucker Barnes as they broadcast live from the city of Manassas.
This week is a special trip as Holly Morris and Tucker Barnes will get to broadcast a LIVE Wedding at Harris Pavilion.

Throughout the morning they will interview the wedding planner, the bride and groom, and guests, witness their vows and see their first dance all in the 9 and 10 AM hours.

They will also check in with others around town including the Fire and Rescue Kids Camp at 8:00 AM, the mayor at 8:30 AM, and vendors at the farmers market at 8:45 AM.

Holly and Tucker will indulge in a “Taste of Manassas” and a “Cheers to Manassas”, sampling local foods and drinks from nearby restaurants, breweries and distilleries at 10:40 AM.

Throughout the morning there will be various activities and contests for viewers such as a chance to win a Mazda.

Channel 5 recently visited Warrenton and drew a crowd.

Here’s an email from Manassas spokeswoman Patty Prince:

When the show was in Warrenton, they had a crowd of about 300 people. Wouldn’t it be great for the City to beat that. So, if you know people who might like to come out and support the City or just watch the show, have them come out from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. At 10 a.m. City staff member Thomas Joyce will be getting married under the pavilion. The wedding will be broadcast on Fox during the morning.

Harris Pavilion is located at 9201 Center Street in Manassas.
