I am a native of Northern Virginia, and a current resident of Loudoun County; as well as a real estate consultant.
Whether you currently live in Loudoun (affectionately referred to in my family as LoCo), or if you're considering moving to the area, I hope you'll enjoy the information you get here! For information on our local real estate market go to http://therealestatewhisperer.blogspot.com/
Leesburg and Loudoun are all a-buzz! This Friday, Fox 5 News will be broadcasting live from our courthouse lawn between 6am and 10am. Visit Loudoun is working with Fox 5 on the things that will be featured... and I don't have details on that. What I do know is they want an audience! So, if you can, join us Friday morning on the courthouse lawn.
This Friday is ALSO First Friday in Downtown Leesburg. The First Friday of every month there are live concerts, art exhibits, wine tastings and all sorts of special events...FREE. Festivities get kicked off at happy hour, and businesses stay open late. It's a great time every month.
And, to add to the excitement, this is a holiday weekend... and Leesburg KNOWS how to celebrate it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am working with local downtown businesses to bring some extra exposure to their businesses and these events... and will be doing some fun giveaways via social media on Friday. Stay tuned to this blog and to our Facebook fan page to learn more as things develop.
