I would like to remind everyone to take advantage of the upcoming Virginia sales tax holiday this weekend August 7-9.

This is a good opportunity to save some money on back to school shopping as well as storm preparedness items and energy efficient products!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Matney family and our Community during this difficult time. As a long time member of our Department Raymond’s service to the Rural Retreat community will never be forgotten.

The Board of Supervisors has voted to rescind the burn ban effective immediately. While conditions have improved, residents are urged to continue using caution and good judgment when conducting any outdoor burning.

Please burn responsibly:
• Never leave a fire unattended
• Keep water or tools nearby to extinguish flames
• Avoid burning during windy or dry conditions
• Follow all local safety regulations and permitted burn guidelines

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation during the burn ban and your continued commitment to keeping our community safe.
