Aging well is not a spectator sport. Our bodies are designed for movement. Our bodies begin aging as soon as we stop growing in our early 20s. Learn about joints. What is normal, what is not? How can we assist joint health through movement, posture and exercise? Be an active participant in your healthy future. We will begin from where you are now physically. If you have limited motion in a joint(s), need an assistive device or have no physical complaints and want to stay that way, this talk is for you. We will address the strategies on how to do this with flare. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes you can move freely in.
Dr. Patrice Winter, PT, DPT, MHA, FAAOMPT, is a retired professor from George Mason University’s College of Public Health, Department of Global and Community Health, where she taught health-related curriculum with emphasis in public health, disease, healthy living and aging well. Dr. Winter practiced physical therapy for over 35 years and was a spokesperson for the American Physical Therapy Association for almost twenty years.

The Historic Sydenstricker Schoolhouse will celebrate National Miniatures Month by hosting a special exhibition presented by Mount Vernon Miniatures with a special exhibit and vintage dollhouse auction.The event is free, open to the public, and offers an immersive look into a fascinating craft that captivates creators and collectors of all ages. Free parking is available on-site and at the church parking lot directly across the street.
·The exhibition will showcase an extraordinary collection of work by local miniature artisans, spanning a diverse array of scales, styles, and media. Visitors will see highly detailed displays, including tiny secret gardens, a lush conservatory, a sweeping Venetian villa, formal room displays, stylized shops, and a charming collection of themed cottages. Guests will marvel at the smallest details, including exquisite dollhouses scaled to fit inside other miniature houses, fully functioning tiny appliances, micro-instruments, miniature toys, and even an operating, tiny model train set.
·In addition to viewing the displays, attendees can explore the rich history and evolution of the miniatures craft. A dedicated hands-on activity table will invite guests of all ages to assemble their own miniature model of the historic schoolhouse to take home. Representatives from the Mount Vernon Miniatures Club will be available to answer questions, share techniques, and discuss their ongoing activities.
·For those looking to kick-start their own collection or find distinctive holiday gifts, a variety of miniature items will be available for purchase.
·A highlight of the event is the official launch of a benefit auction featuring a stunning, vintage dollhouse, which will be on display. The collectible, fully electrified dollhouse has been beautifully restored, and furnished by a professional interior designer in collaboration with the miniatures club. The auction opens for bids on October 3rd, with all proceeds supporting the ongoing preservation and restoration of the schoolhouse as it approaches its landmark 100th birthday in 2028. Additional auction details will be available at the venue.

Workhouse Arts Center

Don't wait — grab your tickets now. This one sells out every single night.
One of the scariest haunted trails in the DMV returns this fall — HAUNT: Dark Encounters, October 3–30, 2026 at the Workhouse Arts Center.
Now in its 13th year, this isn't your typical haunted house — it's a trail. And this year, the Workhouse is ditching theatrical gimmicks for raw, unrelenting tension. You'll be guided through dense woodland to uncover the mystery of five friends who vanished in 1996. Immersive. Unsettling. Built to make every shadow feel personal.
Why it's worth it:
· Exclusive Access — Experience the trail before the public opening · Great Visuals — Dense woods, professional scare actors, detailed sets · The Story — A found camcorder, a 1996 mystery, a descent into the unknown · Post-Scare — The Rizer Pavilion opens with a DJ, themed cocktails, and bites
Tickets are $39. Want to skip the line and get front-of-the-trail access? Add-on fees available. And don't forget to check our website for discounts — $5 off, $10 off, and more.
Recommended for ages 13+. Run dates: October 3–30 (Fridays, Saturdays, and select Sundays).
Plus: Sensory Friendly Night, Saturday, October 17, 6–7 PM. Email workhousehaunt@workhousearts.org to reserve your spot.
