The Piedmont Environmental Council had an event at the Piedmont Memorial Overlook at Ashby Gap in Paris to honor those who laid the foundation to protect our grand landscape.

An inspirational plaque atop a rock greets visitors.

The Rev. Jonathan Adams of Trinity Church in Upperville did a prayer and blessing for all, including those whose ashes have been scattered on the hillside.

It was three days of racing, rallying and spectators swooning over some of the most beautiful automobiles on the planet in the 1000 Miglia Warm Up USA that started in Middleburg in early November. The competitors, included new Middleburg Town Council member Pam Curran in a white Triumph. Many were taking part in time trials to land an invitation to next year’s 1000 Miglia, a 1,000-mile race through Italy that has been held each year for almost a century. Now in its fourth year, Middleburg has embraced the warm up race, run by Francesca Parolin and her husband, Mark Kessler, as a community event. And by the way, speaking of Town Council members, Chris Bernard and Kevin Daley were just re-elected to new terms, along with Mayor Bridge Littleton.
