With all the very best wishes to Cindy Wines, who has officially retired from the Middleburg Millwork after 21 years. Many will also remember Cindy from her years at the B&A Grocery and Middleburg Hardware.
The late Em Sharp, a beloved art teacher at The Hill School, painted 12 festive and colorful signs 40 years ago that are used by the town of Middleburg to decorate Washington Street during the Christmas season. The signs will look like new this year thanks to John Ralph, a Hill school alum and owner of Quail Run Signs. With an assist from Patty Callahan, he’s redoing all of them so they‘ll be around for another 40 years.
