DryHome Roofing and Siding has planned the 3rd Annual Loudoun Lyme 5K/1M Sunday, May 19, at Loudoun Valley High School in Purcellville to raise awareness and money to help find a cure for Lyme disease.

Registration begins at 6:30 a.m. and the race starts at 8 a.m…

Field hockey makes its debut on a Loudoun County Public Schools field as clubs from Briar Woods, Dominion square off.
Potomac Field Hockey (PFH), a local private club, hopes to put a spotlight on the sport in Loudoun with a game between county teams played at Dominion High School’s stadium.
