On an International Scale
Musical Remarks makes profound musical commitment: The five Marks brothers grew up in Loudoun County and, in venues nestled in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains, they came of age musically, athletically and academically. Like their late father, Tom, they have all become Renaissance men, traveling the world and expanding their horizons in many ways and in many places. | 0 comments - ›› more ...

A Family Affair
Lucketts Fair offers bluegrass, wacky games and hand-churned ice cream: Gloria Bradley said those who know her are careful to give her a wide berth this time of year. Get too close, talk too long or walk too slowly past her in a crowd, and you just might find yourself serving as one of the estimated 300 volunteers working at the annual Lucketts Fair that takes place this Saturday and Sunday at the Lucketts Community Center. | 0 comments - ›› more ...

On a Bull and a Prayer
Hundreds gathered at the Loudoun County Fair July 31 to watch 21 cowboys attempt to stay on a kicking and bucking bull for eight seconds. The rodeo started with a “Cowboy's prayer.” In between rides, a rodeo clown kept the crowd entertained by telling jokes. The night, full of victory and disappointment, ended with Hammondsport, N.Y., bull rider Carlos Garcia winning the event and earning $1,200. | 0 comments - ›› more ...

Gut Reaction: So I wanted to get a summer dress for a special outing. Who am I kidding; any outing for me is special. I decided to try Dulles Town Center. I usually avoid malls because I am claustro- and where-did-I-park phobic. But I hoped that a large selection would eliminate the depression that follows the deadly combination of fluorescent lighting and full-length mirrors. | 0 comments - ›› more ...
