The “Jive After Five Networking Reception” is scheduled for April 23, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Manassas Museum, 9101 Prince William Street in downtown Manassas. The event will bring together chamber members, business leaders, and entrepreneurs for an evening of networking and collaboration.

Virginia State Police are continuing their investigation into a fatal single-vehicle crash that claimed the life of a 19-year-old Bristow resident on Saturday, February 28, 2026, and are asking for the public’s assistance.
The incident occurred at approximately 3:10 p.m. when a 2013 Toyota Corolla, traveling at a high rate of speed, entered the eastbound Interstate 66 rest area near the 49-mile marker (close to Bull Run Drive and the Manassas area). The vehicle struck the rear of a legally parked 2024 Kenworth 310 tractor-trailer and burst into flames upon impact.
