Bluemont Column
Last weekend I had a friend visit me. As we drove up Snickersville Turnpike, she was shocked at the damage all around her. Her comment was “This looks like a war zone.” I chuckled and said this was just an ice storm. Over the years she hadn’t believed me when I told her that our ice storms were vicious.
The Bluemont Citizens Association held a meeting this week with Dr. David Goodfriend, Director of Loudoun County Health Department, on the topic of “Lyme Disease in Loudoun County--How to Protect Yourself and Your Family.” Considering how many people in our area have contacted this disease in the past few years, this lecture was of interest to many residents.
Last fall we voted for Bonds to refurbish our community centers. The Strategic Planning Session, scheduled for Feb. 13 and canceled due to weather, has been rescheduled. The new meeting date is March 10 at 7 p.m. at the Carver Center in Purcellville.
Please consider attending this meeting to have your voice heard. This meeting will help determine the future direction of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, the facilities that are built, and the programs that are offered.
It may seem early but mark your calendars for the “Art in the Foothills,” a juried show and sale featuring area artists working in a variety of media. The show will be held in The Stable at Bluemont Vineyard, outside the charming village of Bluemont, May 9 through May 11.
