Reston Now will not be publishing Monday.
Fairfax County Public Schools have the day off, as well as a student holiday scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 19.
Looking for something to do? Entry to all U.S. National Parks nationwide will be free of charge. Here’s a list of parks (some are free anyway;others have fees) in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia.
