This event is the perfect opportunity for you to bring your best furry friend for one final dip in the water before we close for the winter. Bring your dog out to enjoy a playful romp, receive some tasty treats, and make some frisky new friends!
Join local vendors, rescues, vets, and other friendly local businesses. Proceeds go towards the Manassas Park Dog Park. Admission is for this event $5 per dog but you’ll want to bring the whole family because owners get in for free! There is a limit of 2 dogs per handler.
To ensure that everybody has a safe and enjoyable experience, we require that you bring proof of vaccination for your dog. You MUST provide proof of the following in order to be admitted into the park: Distemper, Parvo, and Rabies. Unfortunately, we cannot allow any dogs into the park without this documentation.
Keep in mind, this swim is for dogs ONLY- owners and children are not permitted to swim with their pooches. All dogs must swim at their own risk. We want everyone to have fun. Any unruly or overly disruptive dogs will kindly be asked to leave. Female dogs in heat will not be allowed.

(AP) — Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow Sunday and predicted six more weeks of wintry weather, his top-hatted handlers announced to a raucus, record-sized crowd at Gobbler’s Knob in Pennsylvania.
Phil was welcomed with chants of “Phil, Phil, Phil,” and pulled from a hatch on his tree stump shortly after sunrise before a member of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club read from a scroll in which he boasted: “Only I know — you can’t trust A.I.”
At approximately 2:45 P.M. on Saturday, February 1st, units with Stafford County Fire and Rescue (SCFR) responded to a reported structure fire in the 100 block of Aquia Creek Road, near Aquia Creek. Callers reported a neighboring residence on fire, and first arriving units marked the scene less than 10 minutes later and confirmed fire and smoke coming from the rear and roof of a single-family residence.
Due to a lack of hydrants in the area, crews had to utilize rural water operations to shuttle water to the scene. Crews worked quickly to extinguish the fire and bring it under control in approximately an hour, despite the roof collapsing.
The residence was not occupied at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported. The fire is under routine investigation by the Stafford County Fire Marshal’s Office. SCFR units were assisted on scene by Quantico Fire and Emergency Services.
