River Creek Country Club - Loudoun County's Best


The River Creek Club is a planned community in Loudoun County Virginia. Located only 30 miles west of Washington DC, it has become a staple in Leesburg Virginia Real Estate. It is, in fact, recognized as the first gated country club community in the Washington DC metropolitan area.

I have lived in River Creek for over ten years now, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. Belonging to this club means participating in an endless string of member-sponsored events, forums, family functions and social functions. This facility defines the very essense of a fine private club. It boasts camaraderie, quality of food, gracious personal service and a comfortable residential ambiance as its pillars.

Every amenities offered at River Creek is of the highest quality. From the championship Ault-Clark golf course, to the many social events - no detail is spared.

Its 18 hole golf course is not only breathtaking, but challenging - providing all of the elements that you would expect from a professional course. Tees are elevated, fairways and greens are groomed, and there are a fair number of hazards, traps and woods. Its tennis facilities boast four floodlit hard tennis courts, allowing for the maximum amount of outdoor playing season possible. There are various tennis events held thought the year, ranging from tournaments and inter-club matches, to mixers and socials. There are also popular programs for juniors and adult beginners.

Food, of course, is of the utmost importance at any club - especially if you plan to spend the majority of your time there. You will surely not be disappointed with the fare at River Creek. Choose between two dining experiences - The Champions Grille or Benjamin's Tavern. The view from the Champions Grille overlooks the Potomac River and Reflection Lake. Evening dinner specials such as Fiesta Night, Butcher Block Grill Night, Pastabilities, or Beer and Burger Night, are always fun traditions to begin with the family. Reservations can be made for private parties, weddings, business meetings and corporate outings. The decor, food and scenic views all lend to a successful event.

The three pools cover another fitness element. Each one provides a different need - one large family pool, one lap/exercise pool, and a toddler pool. Other amenities of the club include a fitness and card center, an on-site massage therapist, a golf practice and teaching facility, and more.

There is always something going on at River Creek. Whether it be a club meeting, or a large social event, meeting people and making new friends is never a problem here. Members are welcome to join any of the groups - from Bridge Club, to Home and Garden club, Billiards club, to Gourmet club, or even Mom's club.

Leesburg Flower & Garden Festival - A Vibrant Community in Action


Over 120 vendors and thousands of people will fill the streets of Leesburg this April 17th and 18th. There will be landscape designs, gardening supplies, outdoor living items, plants, flowers and herbs galore! That's right - it's time for the Annual Leesburg Flower and Garden Festival!

A long running tradition in Leesburg, this will be their 20th year celebrating this event. Because the Flower and Garden Festival is the long running winner of Best of Loudoun's "Best Community Event," every year, the town works to make it even bigger and better. There has now been an entire block added to the event layout - adding 20 new vendors. That means more street food, more entertainment and more flowers!

If you're not a natural green thumb, but strive to be one, the Demonstration Stage is where you'll want to spend most of your time. They will take you through topics covering everything from rain barrel making to composting, and even Monarch Butterfly way stations.

This next new addition will definitely have a lot of people excited - the newly added Wine and Beer Garden, located behind the Town Hall. Besides, what's Loudoun County without a taste of the best wineries and breweries?

The festivities are not just for shopping and gardening, but also to bring entertainment and put the "Spring" back in Leesburg. For the children, there will be hourly entertainment, much of it interactive, on the Children's stage. If that's not enough, there will also be crafts, face painting and other fun activities to keep the kids busy.

Don't think they forgot about the adults! Local and regional bands will grace the the main stage of Leesburg, located at the Loudoun County Courthouse. Music will vary across the board from Reggae to classic rock, as well as performances by local star Gary Smallwood and country sensation Jay Henly the Stone Broke Band.

To see a little sneak preview of what to expect from this year's show, go to Leesburg Today's Video Preview.

I can guarantee you'll have a good time at this festival - it's a great time to get outside and spend time with family and friends - and of course your fellow Leesburg neighbors. If you are thinking about moving to Leesburg, I highly suggest coming to this event to get a taste of this vibrant community.
