- The City of Winchester will hold a public comment period between Jul. 7-Aug. 7 regarding a potential polling place change. The proposed ordinance would change the location of the Rolling Hills Precinct of the Fourth Ward — currently at Victory Church on Middle Road — to the Youth Development Center on Battaile Drive. Those wishing to submit feedback or read more about the prospective ordinance can do so online. (City of Winchester VA via Twitter)
- Winchester Parks and Recreation will be hosting an Independence Day Eve celebration on Monday, Jul. 3. The festivities begin with a pool party at the Jim Barnett Park Outdoor Pool, with swimming available from 12:00-8:30 p.m. There will also be music at the park’s ball fields starting at 6:30 p.m., where you can save your spot for the 9:20 p.m. fireworks show. Please note that no alcohol or outside fireworks are permitted, and there will be no rain date. (Winchester VA Parks and Recreation via Facebook)
- If your little one loves all things transportation, they won’t want to miss the Touch a Truck & Open House at Winchester Public Services from 5:30-8:00 p.m. Kids are invited to explore the City of Winchester’s trucks and buses, watch glass crusher demonstrations, and even “paint a plow.” The event also serves as an opportunity for the community to see the new Public Services building at City Yards.
