NORTH STAFFORD, Va. – Residents came to Stafford Marketplace off Va. 610 in North Stafford on Tuesday night to celebrate the county’s largest National Night Out celebration to date.

NORTH STAFFORD, Va. – The land at two homes deemed unlivable following a landslide will be repaired.
The affected homes are at 116 and 118 Brush Everard Court in North Stafford’s Austin Ridge neighborhood where, following drenching rainstorms that hampered the area in September, the homes’ backyards which sit on a slope began to fall away. County officials deemed the houses uninhabitable, unsuccessfully tried to bring the land developer into the repair process, and then this week announced $150,000 in funds that will be used to repair the damage.
With a four-way tie for second place in the 13 to 17-year-old division, three great games were played last night.
The Grizzlies secured their spot with a victory over the first place Nuggets. The team fought hard and picked up some momentum and is now heading into their first playoff game this Monday. There they will try to advance to the championship as the number two seed in the playoff bracket.

NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — The Chick-fil-A restaurant in North Stafford, and many across the country, can thank Mike Huckabee for a major uptick in business on Wednesday.
The former Arkansas governor and 2008 Republican presidential candidate turned TV talk show host urged supporters of the popular chicken sandwich franchise to turn out in droves. In a rallying cry for what was “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day,” Huckabee in a post on his Facebook page stated he became “incensed at the vitriolic assaults on the Chick Fil-A company” following CEO Dan Cathy’s comments stating marriage should be between a man and a woman.
