It starts with a can of food

Now through March 15th we are collecting cans of food for the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank.  Just a simple can of food can impact so many lives.  Check out the Fredericksburg Food Bank website to learn more and discover the many programs the food bank offers.  



We appreciate your help in taking a step to prevent hunger ... everyone deserves a decent meal, it is amazing the number of people right in our community that struggle to feed themselves and their family.  So do your part today, it starts with a simple can of food.

Enjoy the Burg

This weekend marks a holiday filled with sales and events throughout the area.  Most offices are closed on Monday to celebrate President's Day.  A day to honor our president's and our nation.  Many also take this opportunity to enjoy a three day weekend and get out and enjoy ourselves.  Warm weather is in the forecast and it is sure to bring many out to enjoy the sights around our very own Burg.

So how are you going to spend your weekend?  If you're into shopping there are many sales, from auto dealerships to furniture stores.  You may just want to get out and find that home you have been searching for ... looks like we will have great weather for walking property. 




Make sure you check out the Weekender in the Free Lance Star, there is so much going on around our area, from concerts, movies, George Washington birthday celebrations (this is his 279th anniversary of his birth), art exhibits around the city and theatre or exhibits.

What ever your preference Fredericksburg has so much to offer, but with a three day weekend, you just might be able to squeeze it all in!  You may just want to stroll downtown and stop by the landmark Carl's for some ice cream (it opens again tomorrow, Feb 18th), enjoy the parks or just shop for some President's Day Bargains.

So here's hoping you enjoy the Burg this weekend and experience all it has to offer.  For those of you who work on the weekends, I hope your weekend is profitable and you have the chance to get out during the evenings to enjoy some of the happenings.
