Part of this event will include the judging of our “Build –A –House” Contest. Individuals, families, or teams of up to five people can purchase a kit (donation of $25) and build a house of craft sticks. The kit contains 250 craft sticks, a foam core board (10” x 15”) and a container of glue. The building will be judged on structural integrity, creativity and neatness.
There will also be fan favorites and honorable mentions. The houses will be the centerpieces of each of the tables. Barbara Reese of BR Associates, the contest sponsor, said this is a wonderful family project.
“We hope that this project will bring families together to do something fun and also something that benefits the community.” To get your kit, call the Project Mend-A-House (PMAH) office at 703-792-7663. You can pick your kit up at the PMAH office.

Sunday voting also saw an increase, with 131 voters participating compared to previous years. Turnout by precinct ranged from 61% at Dean Elementary to 73.71% at Rand Elementary. Same-day registration presented logistical challenges, particularly at Weems Elementary, where wait times were extended due to high demand and the additional burden of curbside voting.

The Manassas City Council voted unanimously on Monday, January 13, 2024, to purchase a 1.56-acre property in Downtown Manassas from the Manassas Ice and Fuel Company (MIFCO). The $3.1 million acquisition is part of the city’s ongoing strategy to control downtown development and foster community-focused growth.
The newly purchased property, which includes multiple parcels on Center Street, is zoned for industrial use (I-2), allowing developments up to 75 feet in height. City officials highlighted the importance of acquiring the land to guide its future use and prevent projects that may not align with the downtown’s character.
“This purchase ensures that we, as a city, can decide what happens on this key piece of land,” said Vice Mayor Wolfe. “Without this step, the property could have been developed by-right into something like a storage facility or data center, which may not align with our downtown vision.”
