The Town of Dumfries has planned to participate in two events this April focused on fostering environmental awareness and sustainability.
Please join us as we strive to improve water quality and promote storm water management practices through our Quantico Creek Cleanup and the Keep Prince William Beautiful Festival.
On Saturday, Feb. 20, 2016, the Town of Dumfries will be hosting our Annual Black History Month Celebration at the Little Union Baptist Church located at 17150 Mine Road in Dumfries.
This ceremony will feature guest speaker Reverend Michael Sessoms, from Little Union Baptist Church as well as Ms. Phyllis Aggrey, Executive Director of the Prince William County Human Rights Commission. Ceremonies will begin at 11:00 a.m. and will feature performances by the Little Union Baptists Men’s Choir and the Dumfries Elementary Chorus.
The event is postponed due to expected inclement weather. Here’s a statement from event organizers.
Given the risk of inclement weather on Monday, Our Prince William and Smart Chicks on Politics and Entertainmen thave decided to err on the side of caution and postpone the “Baking the Pie with Your Dough” Townhall scheduled for Monday, February 8th. Given the enthusiastic response of potential audience-goers, we look forward to announcing a replacement date shortly.
Historic Heart. Modern Beat. These four words simply yet masterfully describe the City of Manassas. In case you missed it, this is the City’s new tagline, and it’s pretty spot-on.
Manassas is a city steeped in rich history and tradition and takes great pride in the pivotal role it played in our country’s defining war.
In order to commemorate the grand opening of Bach to Rock Music School in Bristow, we have scheduled a ribbon cutting ceremony on February 1.
The ribbon cutting will begin at 11:30 a.m. at Bach to Rock Bristow located on 9070 Devlin Road, Suite 100, in Bristow.
The Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department was dissolved Tuesday.
Career Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue personnel will staff the station on Route 15 in western Prince William. A mix of career and volunteer staff had operated the station prior to the takeover.
With the New Year in full swing, we’ve been very busy getting ready for spring and summer programming! There are some important changes we’d like to share with you and we’d like to reveal a tiny bit of programming so you know what to expect in the coming year.
In response to customer feedback we’re switching things up with our program catalog, the MOSAIC. The MOSAIC will be coming out four times a year instead of two times a year.
In the winter of 2004-05, the Prince William County Historic Preservation Division was in a programming quandary.
There were very few programs offered during the months of January, February, and March and there was, at least, one venue, the Old Manassas Courthouse that was underutilized during those months.
Go there for the coffee, go back again and again for the great people and experiences.
I originally found GCS in March 2015 while in Manassas on business. I had time between meetings and wanted a great cup of coffee and an equally good experience. Not being too familiar with Manassas I turned to Yelp for guidance and boom – I found GCS (with a 4.5 star Yelp rating to boot).
