Saturday was another wonderful celebration of community! Residents were excited to visit our crowded Exhibit Hall, meet the Young Entrepreneurs, listen and ask questions of local leaders and watch the virtual tour of all that is happening in the Mount Vernon District from Huntington to Lorton. The true highlight of the event was our newest addition - the Taste of Mount Vernon! We were thrilled to have so many of you stay to sample foods from our local restaurants. A huge thank you to the restaurants that participated: 2 Jefes Tex-Mex, La Brasa Chicken, Dominos, Momo & Poke Hawaiian Food, Dishes of India, Della J's Delectables, America's Best Wings, Skrimp Shack, Capital Chicken, Moe's Southwest Grill and McAlister's Deli. And, thank you to our amazing volunteer, Shirley Short, for organizing the Taste of Mount Vernon!

We continue to look for ways to improve this popular annual event and want to hear from you! Please send feedback, ideas and suggestions to mtvernon@fairfaxcounty.gov. A huge thank you to our many exhibitors, our presenters, the Police Cadets for their service, the Mount Vernon High School Chamber String Quartet for providing musical entertainment and the Mount Vernon Children's Business Fair entrepreneurs!

For those who participated virtually, we know you missed connecting with the many County and community service providers. You can still pick up that information in "Goodie Bags" we have placed in the lobby at our office (2511 Parkers Lane), or on our website.

DVD copies will be available for checkout from all four libraries in the Mount Vernon District, as well as from the Supervisor’s Office. Please call ahead to verify that a copy is available.
