Winter Storm Fern has left some serious aftermath in its wake, but thanks to Waynesboro Public Works and their impressive efforts, the streets are clear and the city is moving. Thank you Public Works!

With Waynesboro back up and running, we put together some activity suggestions for the kids, the adults, the folks that took this opportunity to call dry January quits early, visitors that made plans to come to Waynesboro and instead ended up in a city resembling Buffalo, NY, and everyone that just needs to get out of the house: https://www.visitwaynesboro.com/it-might-be-freezing-but-were-certainly-not-bored/

Stay warm out there!
