Families and adventure seekers in Stafford County can gear up for a fun-filled outdoor experience this spring as Blue and Terrence’s Eggcellent Eggventure returns for another year. The event, which kicks off on April 1, 2025, encourages participants to explore local parks and tourism sites while hunting for hidden eggs and earning prizes.
“We created Blue and Terrence’s Eggcellent Eggventure as a way to highlight our parks, get families outdoors, and bring more visitors to Stafford,” said Lisa Logan, Tourism Program Director for Stafford County. “Last year, we launched it in just two weeks, and we received so much positive feedback that we’ve spent this entire year making it even better.”
Looking for a furry companion who loves both playtime and snuggles? Meet Montero, affectionately known as Monty! This lovable pup is available for adoption at the Prince William County Animal Shelter, and he’s ready to find his forever home.
Monty is the ultimate cuddle bug—while he enjoys romping around in the yard and playing with his favorite toys, his true passion is curling up on the couch with his humans. He’s also great on a leash, though he does love to stop for occasional snuggle breaks during his daily walks. Even better, Monty has a history of getting along well with cats, making him a fantastic addition to a home with feline companions.

According to Manassas City spokesman Jeremy Beale, the City Fire Marshal’s Office investigated the fire but was unable to determine what sparked the flames.
Firefighters responded to the home at 100201 Waterford Drive, near Clover Hill Road, at approximately 5:05 p.m. on February 14. Upon arrival, crews found heavy fire spreading through the second floor of the three-story residence. The roof collapsed during the firefighting efforts, but no residents were injured as all occupants, including a dog, evacuated safely before emergency responders arrived.
The emergency repairs on the Falmouth Bridge are complete, and the right lane of Route 1 northbound will reopen over the Rappahannock River between the Fredericksburg and Stafford County on Friday, March 14, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
VDOT reduced Route 1 northbound to a single lane between Charles Street in Fredericksburg and Carter Street in Stafford on Nov. 1, 2024, after routine bridge inspections revealed rapid deterioration among structural steel elements supporting the bridge deck. The lane closure was necessary to reduce vehicle weight on the bridge and allow construction crews to complete critical repairs.

If you’re looking for a loving and energetic companion, Xena might be the perfect match for you! This sweet girl, estimated to be around four years old and weighing 45-50 pounds, is patiently waiting for a family to call her own.
Xena arrived at the Spotsylvania Animal Shelter as a stray alongside another dog, both in need of care and nourishment. While she was friendly with her canine companion, she hasn’t been tested with other dogs, cats, or children yet. However, what we do know is that Xena is full of love and enthusiasm for life! She enjoys getting outside, stretching her legs, and soaking up the sunshine. After a good walk, she’s more than happy to snuggle up and share affection with those around her.
