There were some happy children who were anything but ornery, who went with police officers to pick out Chirstmas gifts and then to eat breakfast. It was all apart of the annual “Santa Cops” event in Prince William County.
Ornery Public House in Woodbridge sent us their story:
Didlake Inc. will own and operate a new UPS Store at Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center.
The store is the first for the non-profit that specializes in helping disabled residents find work. It is one of only six of 4,400 UPS stores in the U.S. that is owned and operated by a non-profit organization.
Prince William County Public Schools will hold a public meeting at the C.D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge on Wednesday night.
School officials will talk about the opening of the new “Ferlazzo” elementary school at nearby Spriggs and Minnieville roads.
Prince William police are investigating a robbery at a 7-Eleven store in Woodbridge:
Armed Robbery – On December 7th at 1:00AM, officers responded to the 7-Eleven located at 1701 Featherstone Rd in Woodbridge (22191) to investigate a robbery. An employee reported to police that two unknown men entered the business, brandished handguns and demanded money. The suspects took an undisclosed amount of money before fleeing the business on foot. No injuries were reported. A police K-9 was used to search for the men who were not located. The investigation continues.
Christmas music is so popular that many radio stations start playing holiday tunes before Thanksgiving. So giving away free CDs of Christmas music is a perfect way to invite people to celebrate Christmas at Chapel Springs Church, which has campuses in Bristow and Stafford.
Matchless King is the title of the newly-released CD written and produced by Chapel Springs Worship Pastor Josh Wesley and several key members of the church’s worship team. The CD takes a different approach from most Christmas CDs, though, because it tells the story not just of Jesus Christ’s birth, but God’s plan to redeem mankind through Jesus’ death and resurrection.
This year marks the 33rd year of “Christmas Eve in Washington” — the region’s very own Christmas carol.
Christmas Eve in Washington was a hit written in about 20 minutes by Woodbridge native Maura Sullivan. In the early 1980s, Sullivan was a frequent guest on a local Washington D.C radio station, WMZQ. During her segment, 10 random ideas would be taken from listeners to make a silly song. The next morning she would perform the song.
Mike Huckabee urged voters in Woodbridge to sign a petition to get him on the ballot, whether they end up voting for him or not.
The former Arkansas Governor said Virginia is the most difficult state to get a candidate’s name on a ballot. Unlike some states that require paying the appropriate fees that range between $20 and $40,000, or by simply submitting one’s name — the commonwealth requires a proportionate number of signatures from each congressional district before a candidate’s name is placed on the ballot, said Huckabee.
A car crashed into a home in the Marsh Overlook section of Woodbridge at 2:41 a.m. Friday.
Here’s more in a press release from OWL Volunteer Fire Department:
