The new Puller Veterans Care Center (Puller VCC) is being built on the former Vint Hill Farms Station in Fauquier County, which previously served as a United States Army and National Security Agency facility. The site played a critical role in eavesdropping on enemy communications during World War II, when it intercepted a message that helped lead to the D-Day invasion of Normandy. The new care center will deliver top-quality care to Virginia veterans in a home-like setting. The 128-bed facility will feature all private rooms that will be organized into households and neighborhoods that surround a central community center. [Virginia Department of Veterans Services]
The Puller Veterans Care Center, a long-awaited state-run facility for Northern Virginia veterans, will not open by the end of 2024, as previously expected. Virginia Department of Veterans Services (VDVS) officials now anticipate the facility will open in early 2025, marking the latest in a series of setbacks for the project, which has been delayed multiple times since its original 2022 target.

“No, it’s not going to be ready by the end of the year,” confirmed Commissioner Charles Ziegler, who assumed his role in January. Ziegler cited pandemic-related labor shortages, ADA compliance issues, and ongoing quality control efforts as factors contributing to the revised timeline.

Every Sunday from May to October, the skies above the Warrenton/Fauquier Airport in Bealeton come alive with the exhilarating spectacle of the Flying Circus Air Show.

As gates open promptly at 11 a.m., eager spectators flock to the site, advised to arrive well before 1 p.m. to beat the rush.

The airshow kicks off at 2:30 p.m., and audiences are treated to a 90-minute display of aerial feats and acrobatics.

Following the main event, attendees have the unique opportunity to mingle with pilots and performers for a 30-minute meet-and-greet session.

Payment options include cash, checks, Visa, and MasterCard all accepted for entrance fees, gift shop purchases, and airplane rides.

While the onsite snack bar, Fifi’s CafĂ©, currently operates on a cash-only basis, plans are underway to introduce credit card payments later in the season.

To streamline entry, organizers offer separate lines for cash transactions and those using credit cards or checks. And for those wondering about inclement weather, cancellation notices are posted between 9 and 10 a.m. on the day of the show, ensuring attendees stay informed.

With rides commencing at 11 a.m. and continuing until about 1:45 p.m., there’s ample opportunity for thrill-seekers to take to the skies. While ride reservations aren’t available, all rides operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

Spectators are encouraged to bring their own refreshments or buy from the cafe, with shaded seating areas.

Leashed pets are welcome, though owners are reminded to be mindful of their behavior, especially during the show’s louder moments.

Restroom facilities are clean, spacious, and handicap-accessible, ensuring the comfort of all attendees.
