Delicious Dinners, Award Winners

We are so excited to feature our readers’ top restaurant picks this month. Close out the summer by visiting one — or a number — of your neighbors’ favorite spots to dine. From tempting tacos to French favorites. And if there will be little ones in your party, peek at our Family Fun section before you go. We’ve filled it with our best tips for success for dining out with kids. As summer rolls to a close, you may be dreaming of a greener lawn. In this month’s Lifelong Learning column, you’ll find classes and resources to help you make your yard the envy of the neighborhood. From Master Gardeners to online fact sheets, we’ve got solutions for all your challenges. Do you find yourself always looking for more storage space? Home and Hearth has secrets for storage ideas in even the smallest of spaces. Get creative in ways you never thought of! If you’re a regular reader, you know how we love to support nonprofits and the arts. This month, we are proud to share that we were recognized by The Prince William Arts Council with a Seefeldt Award for Arts Excellence in the Outstanding Business Supporter of the Arts category. Read about the award and our efforts in our On a High Note section. Giving Back brings you the story of Prince William Animal Advocates, a local nonprofit helping shelter animals become more adoptable and spend less time in the shelter. Read about how they were founded, how they make a difference, and how you can help beginning on page 12. You’ll also find tips for investing with inflation in Your Finances, back to school wellness advice in Health and Wellness, and what’s going on around town this month in our fun-filled event calendar. Wishing you a wonderful wrap up to your summer season. All the best, Rebecca Barnes
