WOODBRIDGE – People interested in playing and learning about pickleball should attend the exhibition at the Chili Cook-off and Fall Festival on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The exhibition is taking place at Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center.
The two new events come as the town’s annual spring craft show has steadily been losing money for the past six years. It’s one of two craft shows (spring and fall) that the town relies on to bring in tourists, and cash to town coffers to pay for capital projects.
From its high of about $54,000 in 2013, net revenue form the spring craft fair has dropped this year to $50,214. It was the final spring craft show for the town.
A woman was held with a gun to her head and nearly raped at a vaping supply store.
The 27-year-old victim walked into East Coast Vapers, at 432 Garrisonville Road in North Stafford, just before it closed Friday, August 30. A store employee then pointed a gun at her head and tried to sexually assault her, according to the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office.

The only thing spectacular about the final game at Pfitzner Stadium was the Potomac Nationals 5-1 win over the Myrtle Beach Pelicans.
The team scored a three-run homer in the fifth, which was the game-winning hit. Other than that, there was no on-field good-bye, or firework show. That had been done the weekend before.
The final stretch of Mine Road has opened, connecting drivers with Route 610 in North Stafford to Courthouse Road.
It means drivers don’t have to make the sharp turn at Austin Ridge Road to get to Courthouse Road like they did before the last 2-mile stretch of the road was completed.
Stafford’s Economic Development and Tourism office (ED&T) staff have been spending too much time at ribbon cuttings for new businesses that crop up in the county.
A new agreement between ED&T and the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce aims to have ribbon cuttings hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. As it stands, both ED&T and the Chamber of Commerce both offer to do host ribbon-cutting ceremonies, duplicating efforts.

Those evacuations took place once on the mornings of Thursday, August 22 and Friday, August 23, when county officials stopped a kindergarten orientation with students in the building, and during a teacher orientation session, respectively, show emails obtained by Potomac Local.
“I am concerned that school staff continued to place teachers and students in harm’s way. People’s lives were being endangered by ignoring the life safety issues identified by the county building officials and county fire officials,” penned Prince William County Executive Christopher Martino in a letter to school officials. He went on to call the actions of the school division “egregious.”
