Good morning, Leesburg.

WinShape day camps are taking place this week in Purcellville through a partnership between WinShape, Purcellville Baptist Church (which has hosted these camps since 2019), and the local Chick-fil-A.

The week-long programs offer varied activities and scholarship options for families.

At Oatlands on Saturday, July 25, the National Trust for Historic Preservation ended its Justice for All series with descendant families, scholars and preservationists gathering to explore shared history and community healing — a focus that included actor Djimon Hounsou while organizers announced related events in Richmond, Liverpool and Benin.

Harvest Gardens Adventures in Learning is a proposed healthy living center near Leesburg that will offer interactive exhibits, teaching kitchens, and community programs while expecting 3 million annual visitors; the project is in the (Site Plan Premeeting) phase with county officials.

County planners are reviewing a proposal for a 142 acre recreation complex near Purcellville that includes sports fields, courts, and an indoor center (with a planned 45,000 sqft library).

They will address traffic and water supply concerns in a future work session before sending the project to the Board of Supervisors.
