PHCA National Night Out
We hope you didn't miss our community's fantastic National Night Out event in August. Over 200 Pimmit Hills residents turned out to enjoy the evening, have a cool treat and get to know their neighbors. Special thanks to all who planned and ran the event, local businesses and organizations that had booths, Supervisor John Foust who stopped to greet neighbors, and the Fairfax County Fire Department who brought their fire engines. We took lots of photos and even a video of the event.
