The Middleburg Go Green Committee has made the decision to postpone the 2020 Middleburg Wellness Day due to the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis.
The committee felt that it would be inappropriate to proceed with the event, particularly a wellness event where members of the public of all ages and health levels would be mingling in a relatively confined space.
We will work with all exhibitors and sponsors to identify a suitable date to reschedule, and post a new date here. We all appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you soon.

Middleburg Community
Center Hours UpdateDue to COVID-19 virus, the Middleburg Community Center has decided to keep their doors closed for any walk-ins and daily visitors. The MCC offices will be open for appointments by phone, email, or facetime. Current event bookings and programs that have previously been arranged will go on as planned.
For current event bookings that will take place, we have taken extra precautionary steps to maintain an extremely sanitary facility - with a focus on highly trafficked areas like railings, door handles, bathrooms, and regularly used surfaces.
As a Community Center that has proudly hosted events and programs to the public for over 71 years, we are taking things very seriously. Contact us with any questions. We apologize for the inconvenience. And if you are not feeling well, please stay home.
We hope you all stay safe and healthy!
Best Regards, MCC Staff

Artists' Reception
at the Byrne Gallery
The Byrne Gallery is pleased to announce Spring Bouquet: Jewelry Show 2020. Celebrating Spring with a special exhibition of necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings and textiles by six distinctive designers: Pamela Mickley Albers, Debra Fabian, Susie Lipscher, Robin Lutsky, Diana Papazian, and Kathryn Stanko.
Their new collections will feature a wide selection of unique jewelry designs and one-of-a-kind creations to fit every taste and style. Semi-precious gemstones such as chalcedony, druzy, hematite, labradorite, jade and turquoise will dazzle you along with fabulous fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystals, Murano glass, and lapis lazuli among many others will be featured
The exhibition will also include beautiful floral themed paintings by three different artists in 3 different mediums. Margaret Farr’s watercolors are so exquisite! Her meticulous artistry and technique will thrill you with each rendering of delicate wildflowers like columbines and blue bells. The classically composed still lives of Cathy Lawless bring to mind a contemporary Dutch School master class in oil on canvas and panel painting. And a third medium, acrylic on paper and canvas brings the expressionist colors of Carolyn Marshall Wright to wake up the season to a burst of color and energy.
Please join us for a special reception on Saturday, March 14th from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. and another on March 21st from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Both events are open to the public and everyone is invited to attend. Spring Bouquet continues through the end of March.

Help us out – be on the lookout!
The Town has experienced instances where unauthorized contractors have connected to the Town’s water supply at fire hydrants in Town, causing a disturbance in the Town’s water system. Only the Town’s utility operator – Inboden Environmental Services (IES) – public safety officials, or contractors authorized by IES may use a fire hydrant. In addition, there are specific hydrants that should be used by outside contractors in order to minimize disturbances or damage to our system.
If you see any suspicious activity around a fire hydrant, please call the Town Office immediately at 540-687-5152. If the situation occurs after hours, you may call the On-Duty Police Officer at 540-216-9787.
