New Reional Superintendent: The Eastern Region is excited to welcome Keith Meyerl as their new Regional Superintendent. Keith comes to Fauquier after serving as director of Parks and Recreation in Fluvanna County. Meyerl sees Fauquier as a larger version of Fluvanna, mostly rural, convenient to a larger metropolitan region, with preservation of local history and conservation of resources in the heart of its residents. One of Keith’s goals is to provide services that will allow residents to stay at home in their recreation. Think Fauquier First! “We talk about the importance of providing services that are both convenient and affordable for our residents. By allowing our residents to recreate at home, it also helps support local businesses (by keeping their various purchases (gas, groceries, etc) right here in Fauquier.” “The Eastern Region is so close to Fairfax and Manassas, that it’s easy for folks to leave Fauquier to recreate, while potentially taking their purchasing dollars outside the county as well,” Meyerl states. “It’s our goal as a region to provide programs, activities and facilities that our residents can find a good value and an exceptional experience every time they participate with us.” Take a look at our activities for the Holiday Season. I invite you to come recreate with us right here in Fauquier County.

Lake Brittle News: As of February 1, 2009, Lake Brittle located at 4354 Lake Brittle Road, Warrenton, VA 20187, has been returned to the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
