On July 29th, the Warren Heritage Society hosted a book signing of A Rebellious Woman by Claire J. Griffin.
This event was held at the Belle Boyd Cottage on the Grounds of the Warren Heritage Society, 101 Chester Street in Front Royal.
Rebellious Woman is based on the life story of Belle Boyd (1844-1900), whose coming of age coincided with the opening shots of the Civil War. Debutante, a teenaged spy, seductress, actress, divorcee, cross-dresser, and self-promoter, carried a pistol and wasn’t afraid to use it. In a century when a woman was meant to be nothing more than a well-behaved wife and mother, Belle Boyd stands out as a scandalous woman of history, defying all the rules.
Kirkus Book of the Year author Claire Griffin has rowed competitively, traveled to seven continents, kayaked below the Antarctic Circle, camped in Africa, driven across the Sahara, eaten bugs, and been stung by scorpions two separate times. Claire has always said yes rather than no to adventure, which may be why she decided to write a novel about Belle Boyd, a scandalous woman of history who defied so many rules. Claire and her husband of forty-five years live in a beautiful little town on the coast of Connecticut.
The book is available on Amazon.
The Shore Players present Annie Jr at Cottonwood Ranch. The Cottonwood Ranch is located at 135 Morrison Lane in Front Royal, Virginia. The plays run on July 29, 30, and 31 at 8:00 pm. Tickets are (suggested donation) Adults $8, Students $5, and Families $25.
Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, with a beloved book and score by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin, Annie JR. features everyone’s favorite little redhead in her very first adventure.
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone’s hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan’s evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
This production is directed by 19-year-old Lydia Buono with a local cast of players. Lydia wants to thank her wonderful cast for being such troupers, including Anna McFadden and Serenity Fedoryka for choreographing some of the numbers; the incredible backstage crew for their fun energy and teamwork; and Theresa Byers for coming in to help with music. Thank you to Kristin Uhlenkott, Bridget Hickson, and the whole Uhlenkott clan for tackling any project we needed and for being the backbone of these shows — it’s really impressive all the work they do. Thank you, Damian Fedoryka, John Lamirande, and Gabe Hencken, for being the tech-savvy men of the group; and all the parents who have put in their time and talent to make this all possible!

The Front Royal Police Department is excited to announce and invite you to join us in celebrating our 15th Annual National Night Out Block Party. National Night Out will be held downtown Front Royal on Tuesday, August 2nd, from 6 pm to 9 pm on Main Street at the Gazebo!
Our National Night Out event brings neighborhoods and law enforcement together to send the message that our community and law enforcement are all working together to prevent crime and keep our communities safe. National Night Out is to strengthen our neighborhoods, promote crime prevention, and celebrate police-community partnerships, all while having fun! There will be live music by Raised on Analog, food, inflatable fun for the kids, and a lot of information and exhibits centered on safety awareness, crime and drug prevention, and information on local resources. This event also allows our community members to talk to our local first responders and ask them questions. So, we invite you to lock your doors, turn on the outside lights and spend the evening outside with your neighbors and first responders of Front Royal and Warren County!
This national event will involve over 17,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide. National Night Out is designed to (1) Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime efforts; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
National Night Out showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement in our fight to build a safer nation and community. This is the Front Royal Police Department’s fifteenth year hosting NNO; law enforcement’s battle against crime would be limited without this partnership. We would also like to thank our local sponsors and organizations that helped us bring this event to our community!

It’s time for Waggin’ for Dragons! The United Way of Front Royal Warren County, Humane Society of Warren County, and Front Royal-Warren County Chamber of Commerce are once again partnering to bring you this fantastic summer event along the Shenandoah River.
Waggin’ for Dragons (W4D) is a terrific opportunity for businesses and organizations looking for teambuilding activities for their employees. It’s also a great way for families and friends to strengthen their relationships and enjoy spending time together.
Traditional dragon boat racing dates back over 2000 years, but the modern international sport became popular in Hong Kong in 1976. 15 rowers plus a drummer compete in a skill of coordination rather than athleticism, so this sport is great for people of all skill levels.
Registration is open now to participate with your business, church, family, or friends. The event is held on August 6th at the Front Royal Golf Club. Music, refreshments, fun, and community spirit make this a day to remember and all for a great cause!
Spectators are encouraged to attend. Shuttle service will be available from the Walmart parking lot. Opening ceremonies will commence at 9 a.m. with races throughout the morning and early afternoon.
The Humane Society of Warren County, Front Royal-Warren County Chamber of Commerce and United Way of Front Royal-Warren County will share in the funds raised by each team for the benefit of our entire community. Each participating team is asked to fundraise for their participation, a minimum of $1,000 each. Racers enjoy opportunities to practice in the dragon boats ahead of race day as well as the full support & gratitude of the hosting non-profits.
With a goal of 30 teams, this event will be full of character, team spirit and community support.
Volunteer and sponsorship opportunities are available. For more information about this event, visit hswcevents.org/wagginfordragons and follow the event Facebook page, or call Meghan at the Humane Society at 540-635-4734.
