HOLIDAY 2021 EDITION
Happy Holidays Everyone,
With Thanksgiving weekend only a few days away and Christmas and New Year’s soon to follow, I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their continued support of Country ZEST & Style. We’ve just published our 68-page holiday issue, the last of 2021, and we’re already thinking ahead to 2022, our fourth calendar year in existence. Time clearly flies when you’re having fun, and we’re looking forward to more good times and another year of riveting, relevant stories and photos from all around our ever-expanding circulation area in Loudoun, Fauquier and Clarke counties.
I’m also including a schedule for two of Middleburg’s signature holiday events below, as well as another brilliantly produced podcast from James Jarvis offering a fascinating look at the annual and always widely-anticipated Middleburg Christmas Parade.
Cheers!
