SHEPHERDSTOWN “We have been hosting this dinner for about the last 10 to 12 years,” said Denny Barron, Shepherdstown Fire Department treasurer. Barron was referring to the annual holiday “thank you” meal the department hosts for the community as a thank you for the continued support of Company 3.
This year, the event was still held on Sunday, but like many other events, had to take on a different look. Meals were prepared by fire department volunteers and boxed for curbside pick-up by all who drove through the parking lot. Each dinner contained ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, rolls, applesauce and cookies.
WINCHESTER â Winter is the perfect time to escape to a tropical paradise, but in the time of COVID-19, travel is not at the top of most peopleâs itineraries.
Fortunately, thereâs a place just outside of Winchester where the temperature is always warm, beautiful flowers are always in bloom and exotic creatures are always waiting to welcome visitors.
Itâs not a zoo or exotic pet store. Rather, itâs Weberâs Nursery and Garden Center at 1912 Martinsburg Pike.
âWeâve had birds on this property since weâve been here, for 72 years,â nursery owner Mike Weber said Friday while walking through a warm, humid greenhouse filled with the cacophonous squawking of dozens of large, long-tail parrots known as macaws.

“The role of the Planning Commission is to provide input into whether a suggestion fits within the comprehensive plan,” said County Planner Jennifer Brockman, referring to Jefferson County’s comprehensive plan.
