What’s New at the Farmer’s Market?

By Sponsored Post

Both the “market master” (our on-site coordinator) and I are new this year to the City of Manassas Farmer’s Market. While it’s certainly been a learning curve for us both, we are excited to bring a new perspective to the market. I practically have the “What’s In Season?” 

Virginia Calendar memorized now, whereas before I signed on as the market coordinator, I could give you a rough timeline of when things came into season.  It’s both fun and overwhelming to learn so much about farming and produce.

DALE CITY, Va. — It’s now midway through summer and high school football camps will soon be underway, and collegiate players are working out now in preparation for the upcoming season.

Before the season begins, a group of athletes native to Prince William County saw the need for sports camps that engage youth, and for camps that are led by talent that once played in the area. For Rickey Lewis, Chad Dunlap and Rasheed McClaude all, the product of their creativity and collaboration was “Rising Starz,” a speed and agility football camp set to take place Saturday and Sunday, July 20 and 21 at the Hylton Boys & Girls Club in Dale City.

Cinder Looking for a Home

By Potomac Local News
Bull Terrier - Cinder looking for furever home

Cinder is a real “Cinderella” story. Aptly named by the little boy and his mom who helped rescue her, we are certain that Cinder will soon become the princess we know she is.

Cinder was badly neglected and had bones sticking out all over when she came into rescue. She is a very sweet little girl who lives to give hugs and kisses and while she LOVES kids, she is a little too overzealous for small children.
