PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. – A Virginia State Police trooper tried to pull over a reckless driver on Interstate 95 early this morning, but the driver took off—leading troopers on a wild chase through Prince William County and into Washington, D.C.
The pursuit began around 4:48 a.m. near mile marker 162 on I-95 southbound. The suspect exited at Prince William Parkway, drove through several county roads, then jumped onto Route 123 heading toward Route 1 and back onto I-95—this time going northbound.
Wednesday (Oct. 1)
Friday (Oct. 3)
The festival is typically held on the grounds of the Brentsville Courthouse Historic Centre, a 28-acre property in Bristow that features preserved landmarks such as the 1822 courthouse, a jail, church, farmhouse, and one-room schoolhouse. Once the county seat, Brentsville today draws visitors with music, history, and cultural programming.
In past years, the festival has featured performances by regional bluegrass acts, living history demonstrations, historic site tours, children’s activities, and local food vendors. The combination of music and history has made the daylong event a highlight of the fall calendar.
STAFFORD, Va. – The staff at Stafford County will conduct a full-scale emergency shelter drill this Friday, October 3—and you may notice increased activity near Shirley Heim Middle School and St. Peter’s Lutheran Church.
This joint exercise, conducted with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, Rappahannock Area Health District, Stafford County Public Schools, and St. Peter’s, will test the county’s ability to open and operate emergency shelters in the event of a major disaster.
