The Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton is offering a way to bring entertainment to its community with a drive-in movie theater. 

The center will open a drive-in movie theater on its 55-acre campus on June 12, with movies showing on Friday and Saturday evenings. A 40-foot screen will be set up to display the films. 


A suspect who fled the scene of a car accident was later found reeking of alcohol while hiking along Cool Spring Road and was promptly taken to the Rappahannock Regional Jail.

The event occurred on June 5 at 10:51 p.m. when Deputy Houde responded to a car accident in the area of Kings Highway and the Blue and Gray Parkway, according to Major Shawn Kimmitz of Stafford County Sheriff’s Department.


Stafford County recently received $13 million in funding through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Securities (CARES) Act.

A list of documented expenditures and requests from agencies for a chunk of this money is currently being put together and will be presented to the Board by June 15, according to Deputy County Administrator Fred Pressley.
