In this Go Prince William County, Va Issue…
Summertime is officially here with it’s first holiday. Tons to do in all directions of the county.
Normally, I wouldn’t include Monday’s but to make sure we cover the entire weekend the extra day is fully covered.
BTW - for Gmail users, now that the newsletter is weekly, and especially today with an entire additional day, make sure you click “View Entire Message” at the bottom to see everything included in the issue. Gmail has a length restriction, other providers may as well.
