Editor’s Note – New FXBG Features
The FXBG Advance is enjoying rapid growth, which is enabling us to expand our coverage to better meet your needs. Among the additions recently made to the Advance include:
Profiles of local candidates
Sunday Book Reviews
Sunday Arts Reviews
Now, we’re pleased to introduce our newest feature – “Local Government This Week.”
Beginning today, each Saturday the Advance will bring you a calendar of all government meetings in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, and Stafford. We want to make it easy for you to find and attend the government meetings that most-directly shape your life.
And this is just the start. Watch for announcements coming this Fall about our plans for more-in-depth reporting on local government and politics.
The FXBG Advance is working to bring you the local news you need. Thank you for all of your support, which makes this work possible.
