Check out our sample of weekend events happening around the area.
Come fly the Fortress! This weekend, the historic and restored B-17 Flying Fortress will be at the Leesburg Executive Airport for guided tours ... and even flights. The plane, which is part of the Salute to Veterans Tour, is a living link to aviation history and World War II. The aircraft serves as an example of the American heavy bomber that helped turn the tide of battle in World War II. Fly a mission back in time and feel the might of this magnificent aircraft, just as those brave young men did more than 50 years ago. Tours run from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting. The EAA, a nonprofit organization from Wisconsin, preserved the B-17. Other events going on this weekend around Loudoun County: The Potomac Open Ryan Diviney Day Humpty …

Some reminders about our Terms of Use, keeping Patch a transparent, good source of information on our community.
Some users of Patch, which we hope is considered a service to the community, are not living up to their end of the bargain with respect to our terms of use. While most readers who post comments, events or other information on the site have done a great job of helping us to keep the community informed – after all we can’t do it without your help – there are a few requirements of the Patch Terms of Use that we think it’s important to highlight. First, some people are using the Events section to post advertisements or solicitations, which are prohibited. The terms state: “You may use this Service solely for personal and non-commercial purposes. That is to say: You can’t use the Service to make a living unless you enter into a separate …

During the games, the players will follow the rules and customs of the 1860s. Gloves, helmets and catching gear are not used and uniforms and equipment are authentic replicas of the mid-1860s.
