And if the name of this new experiential tourism trail doesn’t catch your eye, maybe the sound will. Say it aloud. It rhymes. It has rhythm. Who doesn’t love a bacchanalian motif?
Music and poetry aside, the “Steins, Vines and Moonshine Trail” promises to be lots of fun. The trail includes nearly twenty craft breweries, wineries and distilleries. Beverage producers and tasting rooms are located throughout the Prince William area, including Haymarket, Woodbridge, Nokesville, Lake Ridge, Gainesville and Manassas.
MANASSAS — When Jackie Krick founded IMPACTO Youth back in 2013, the idea was to inspire youth to be the drivers of their own fulfilling destiny. The nonprofit wanted to teach economically and socially disadvantaged youth that opportunities are there for all who want them, and if they need an extra hand, there’s help.
Through IMPACTO Youth’s programs that encourage workforce development, leadership, learning and literacy, they are succeeding, and that’s why they received the Chamber’s 2018 Arts and Education award.

Here’s a term you might not be familiar with — the sandwich generation. It typically refers to the generation that cares for both children and aging parents.
Traditionally, the generation is made up of people in their thirties and forties. But with technology, advanced healthcare and a wide span of years during which parents decide to have children, the sandwich generation can include people in their twenties and fifties, maybe even sixties, in some cases. The Pew Research Center says, “Who is the sandwich generation? Its members are mostly middle-aged: 71% of this group is ages 40 to 59. An additional 19% are younger than 40 and 10% are age 60 or older.”
Nearly 50 years of working to give back to the community have paid off.
“It is one thing to receive an award. It is another to know that our volunteers and members of the community were the ones to nominate us and our peers in the business community that chose us. We are both humbled and grateful, said Steven Liga, ACTS CEO, after winning the Prince William Chamber of Commerce’s 2018 Health & Human Services Award.

MANASSAS — A new, three-day multi-media art event, One Love Manassas, will be held in May.
