The Prince William Chamber of Commerce annually recognizes police, fire and rescue workers for their courageous, often lifesaving actions at the Valor Awards ceremony.
Recipients are nominated by their respective chiefs and selected by a committee of not only their peers but also members of the business community.
During the ceremony their stories of valor are read before a live audience consisting of their departments, their families and neighbors while they receive a plaque recognizing them for their heroic, often life-saving actions. We hope that you will join us this year.

Did you know some of Prince William County’s elementary schools have a distinctive circular design? Loch Lomond Elementary, built in 1961, was the first of several schools featuring this innovative layout, known as a “Bailey Building.” Designed to maximize space while keeping costs low, these schools became local landmarks. Loch Lomond also played a key role in school integration when Zella Brown, one of the “Courageous Four” Black educators, joined its staff in 1964. Over the years, the school has evolved but remains a vital part of the community. Click the headline to learn more.

Pullman is a lovable, playful dog in need of a second chance at a forever home. Born at the Manassas City Animal Adoption Center in August 2021, Pullman was one of ten siblings and was adopted when he was just three months old. Recently, he was found as a stray in Fairfax County, and despite efforts to contact his previous owner, no one has come forward to claim him.
We know that Pullman’s mother was a boxer, and DNA tests from his littermates reveal he also has Cane Corso in his lineage. He’s a big, affectionate pup with plenty of energy and love to give. If you’re looking for a fun, goofy, and playful companion, Pullman could be the perfect fit for your family!

Travel to French soil and join us for a night filled with two of the most beloved French traditions—no plane ticket required! ?
On January 25th, we invite you to experience the magic of Galette des Rois, a 700-year-old tradition celebrated across France throughout the entire month of January (and even beyond!). This sweet, almond-filled puff pastry topped with a golden crown isn’t just a treat—it’s a celebration! The lucky person who finds the fève (a porcelain charm hidden in one of the slices) becomes the King or Queen for the Day, and don’t worry—there will be plenty of royalty to go around! ??
But that’s not all! In France, Les Voeux (New Year’s wishes) continue throughout January, often accompanied by Champagne and good cheer. We’re bringing that festive spirit to you, with a lively evening packed with French food, wine, and music.
What’s in store:
