(A pager, what's that again?) Already there are more than 40 groups of notices to sign up for. Everything from local traffic, river reports, to Parks&Rec events, even local volunteer opportunities.<br /><br />Those with children in school will surely like the school closing notifications. The advantage is you get to pick and choose those alerts that are important to you and your family.<br /><br />The FLS <a href="http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2010/072010/07212010/562685/index_html">reports</a> that the site is largely funded by Homeland Security, allowing the city to offer similar capabilities as the surrounding counties. Hopefully the city organizations will continue to keep their feeds up to date.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><br />Originally posted at http://www.intheburg.info (c)2009</div>Bryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10612539514239011619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747257535726408859.post-67021603232705186172010-08-15T06:40:00.002-04:002010-08-15T07:01:16.604-04:00City PoolProbably one of the best family benefit of living in the city is the Dixon park pool. From friendly staff, to fun children's area, to a mini-water slide, this has to be one of the funnest items in the inventory of city parks. And the best part for people living in 22401, it's FREE. Last year the city debated charging a fee for residents, but the generosity of Dorris Buffett and the Sunshine Lady Foundation saved the summer by donating the <a href="http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2009/052009/05202009/467421/index_html">cost of admission</a>. <div><div></div><br /><div>The park system has even setup a Facebook page for <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fredericksburg-VA/Dixon-Park-Pool/93867699485">Dixon Park Pool</a>, although it lacks in recent posts. So also visit the <a href="http://www.fredericksburgva.gov/departments/recreation/index.aspx?id=1131">Parks&Rec </a>page for the latest times. </div><div></div><br /><div>Don't miss the August 18th Hawaiian Night (8-10pm). Later this month they will be once again hosting the Soggy Dog Day (Aug 28th). Last year reports had it at about 250 people with some 50 dogs.</div><br /><a href="http://www.fredericksburgva.gov/uploadedImages/Parks_Recreation_and_Public_Facilities/GeneralContent/dixon%20pool%20logo.jpg?n=5523"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 750px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 476px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.fredericksburgva.gov/uploadedImages/Parks_Recreation_and_Public_Facilities/GeneralContent/dixon%20pool%20logo.jpg?n=5523" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><br />Originally posted at http://www.intheburg.info (c)2009</div>Bryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10612539514239011619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747257535726408859.post-31116219463173945942010-07-19T21:55:00.001-04:002010-07-19T21:57:21.555-04:00Family Event 7/31Just received this in a comment - thanks!<br /><br />Sat, Jul. 31 - Family Fun Festival & Avatar at Unity Church of Fredericksburg!<br /><br />From 4pm-7pm 3607 Lafayette Blvd. UCoF Family Fun Festival!

We have our very own ice flow in the Rappahannock. A beautiful sight in the morning!</div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><br />Originally posted at http://www.intheburg.info (c)2009</div>Bryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10612539514239011619noreply@blogger.com0
