Our pet for this week is Frosted Flakes.
Frosted Flakes was transferred to us from Sweet Virginia Barn Cats in June of last year, along with her three other siblings. One by one all of her siblings have gone home, leaving her as the only cereal kitten left. We can't understand why she hasn't been able to find a furever home. She is a spunky, adventurous kitten full of energy. Frosted spends most of her days greeting our visitors at her door, laying in the sun or playing with her roommates.

What started as Wasters End neighborhood brewery in Lake Ridge has quickly expanded to other areas of the region, like Fredericksburg and now Leesburg.
A new business is brewing in the Village at Leesburg. Chefscape, a food hall and bar featuring a variety of local chefs, will soon become "The Dell: Food & Brew Hall." Water's End Brewery, which has two locations in Prince William County and another in Downtown Fredericksburg, will operate the brewery currently being constructed inside the front door, adjacent to the customer seating area.
