‘So everyone just stares at each other and worships Huntley?’

Local Spotlight: Folks, I’m serious about Local Spotlight being the most effective, affordable advertising I’ve ever offered.

  • And it’s a tremendous value for small businesses and nonprofit organizations.

Local Spotlight members receive:

  • At least three ads on our potomaclocalnews.com website (new positions coming)
  • Priority posting of announcements and events here in the Publisher’s Post (emailed directly to more than 15,500 opt-in recipients)
  • We have 1.5 Million local, engaged readers — authentically local readers, unlike those “local” viewers the big social media companies told you reached during your last “targeted” campaign.
  • Flexible payment options that include annual and bi-annual payments
  • Plus: I’m so convinced that Local Spotlight members will get such great value that I’m willing to work with smaller businesses on monthly plans to earn your membership in the program.
  • Sold $1,620 annually (SAVE 10%), $894 bi-annually, or $149 monthly.
  • Contact me today to become a member.

Snow day: We’re expecting up to three inches of snow today, according to our forecast sponsored by Water’s End Brewery. Send us your snow pictures.

Events: Post your events to our local calendar FREE by clicking this link. We reach 1.5 million readers a year, so FREE ain’t bad for that amount of targeted reach.

MLK Day: Reporter Katherine Madere is covering the 39th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Program & Youth Oratorical Competition, held this year at Colgan Senior High School near Woodbridge.

New Mexican-style: Amelia Breeden’s story about Anita’s New Mexican-style diner reopening near Manassas has drawn some debate on our Facebook page, proving once again that people on social media will argue over anything.

  • “Oh man, this brings back wonderful memories from my childhood.”
  • “So many great El Salvadoran places in Manassas. I was actually sad to see this.”

Huntley event confusion: Some on the FredNats Facebook page are confused about the event at the baseball stadium honoring Fredericksburg’s “Huntley,” who won season 24 of “The Voice” on NBC.

  • “What fun? No food, no game, no concert? So everyone just stares at each other and worships Huntley?”

Trash talkin’: The Stafford County Sheriff took a swipe at Dallas Cowboys fans this morning after their 48-32 loss in the wildcard playoff game. Full story.

Supervisors: Prince William and Stafford counties Board of Supervisors meetings will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2024. Our reporters will cover stories about adding classroom trailers to preserve historic sites.

Shootings: We’re following several breaking stories today, including two shootings, on our homepage.
