Sample a Taste of Greece in Ashburn this Weekend

The annual event provides a cultural immersion, and great Greek food.

The 5th annual Taste of Greece is set for this weekend at the Ashburn Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department's station, 20688 Ashburn Road, in Old Ashburn.

Free admission and free parking make it easy to drop by Friday through Sunday to see what’s going on, but be prepared for a crowd. Every year, the Greek Orthodox Parish of Loudoun County fills Founder’s Hall at the first station with food, music and lots of dancing.

And while the junior and senior dance troupes will each perform multiple times throughout the weekend, there are four opportunities to learn to a Greek dance (see attached dance schedule). The accompanying video was made during the January 2011 Taste of Greece.

Want to sample the goods without leaving your car? Try the curbside pickup service by calling 571-246-0926 or 571-246-2403.

  • Saturday, Feb. 16
    11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
  • Sunday, Feb. 17

HB2313 is the first step in many years towards improving significant Virginia transportation issues.Read More It very importantly provides money for neglected safety inspections of bridges, roads and tunnels - to avoid recent disastrous situations like the Minnesota and Washington bridge collapses. 3800 bridges in Virginia have already been deemed sub-standard. HB2313 also significantly increases the percentage of new infrastructure transportation funds raised in and allocated to NoVa, from 30% to 100%. It also provides funding for the estimated $1B in state construction needs (increasing at a yearly rate of $500M). Finally, the tax increases (and decreases) involved are a small percentage of the already very low Virginia transportation budget and low state taxes (compared to most other states). Delegate May has said in recent interviews that he is usually not in favor of raising taxes - though transportation safety is extremely important - as is keeping NoVa transportation dollars in NoVa. He also said he will ensure there is very careful scrutiny of how the money raised by this bill will be spent.

Previously there has been nowhere near enough money in the Virginia budget to address current localRead More transportation issues - Virginia transportation spending has continually been almost the lowest in the country (45th of 50 states in 2011) - and the significant local population and economic growth rates have made the issue worse quickly. Note Virginia taxes are also some of the lowest in the country (34th of 50 states in 2011). A large number of politicians across Virginia are involved in resolving the complex and expensive transportation issues in our area - no one person alone is completely responsible - significant negotiating, compromising and patience - traits and skills which LaRock does not possess - are required. A significant step forward was made with recent HB2313, with the help of Delegate May, which allocates significantly more transportation money to our district.

The 17.5 cent gas tax has been reduced a few cents for a year or two but will be back up there asRead More the wholesale gas tax increases automatically. Northern Virginia will be getting about 180 million of this new tax burden. Using the Pacific Blvd numbers that's 10 miles worth of road. Being shortchanged for 20 years with Northern Virginia getting back 30 cents on a dollar for roads is on Joe May. He did not work to get the formula adjusted. The gas tax was a tax on people who bought gas the new bill and the numbers above include every man, woman and child being taxed 145 dollars a increase of 50% over the gas tax alone plus the additional tax base.
