Ladies, are you looking for a neat summer dress? You may be choosing styles that feel light, comfortable, and effortlessly polished. Simple floral prints, soft colors, breezy fabrics, and flattering knee- or midi-length designs are perfect for these cooler days, whether you’re heading to brunch, shopping, work, or visiting a museum. A well-chosen summer dress makes getting dressed easy while keeping your look fresh, feminine, and comfortable all day long. Prices are somewhat higher these days then this shopping ad. Be sure to check out the Herndon Community Museum to browse in air-conditioning! See you Saturday afternoons 1:00 - 4:00!

Congratulations on your great performance in the 2026 Herndon Ox-Roast Scavenger Hunt! It took teamwork, and energy to make this first Scavenger Hunt such a fun tradition. Thanks to all the teams participating and accomplishments. The staff, board and Smokey Bear would like to thank Rachel Grafel for her hard work and donation to the museum. The winning team member names are as follows:
Jasmine McEvoy
Tasha Cavenee
Kinsley McEvoy
Ella McEvoy
Kendall Cavenee and of course Smokey Bear, sponsored by the Herndon Community Museum. Drink pouches filled with $2.00 bills were fun to hand to the winning team. We apologize for any error in spelling of the names. Please feel free to correct us.

Thank You for a Wonderful Ox‑Roast 2026

Ox‑Roast 2026 is officially in the books, and what a fantastic day it was. Our museum was filled wall‑to‑wall with history lovers of all ages, and the energy was incredible. From the parade all the way through the afternoon, families lined up to pose with Smokey Bear until 4:00, adding a little extra fun to an already memorable event.

A heartfelt thank‑you goes to the Ox‑Roast Committee for their ingenuity and dedication in planning a day that was both fun and safe for everyone. Your hard work showed in every detail.

The museum‑sponsored Scavenger Hunt was a hit with family teams, bringing a new sense of adventure to the day — many thanks to Rachel Grafel for making it happen.

We’ll be sharing more details, along with photos, very soon. In the meantime, we invite you to come back and spend a little time exploring the many donated items that make our museum one of the neatest and coolest places to stop in.

Thank you again for your support, your enthusiasm, and your presence. You helped make this year’s Ox‑Roast one to remember.

These days seem so crazy but such fun! It's so exciting to be getting Alumni reservations from guys/gals that I keep thinking are in their early 30's and they come to celebrate 60 years since graduation! YIKES, how can that be? We do thank all of you that plan on coming to the banquet and spending all day at the Ox-Roast. The years do fly by so, enjoy the weekend, take time to visit with old friends and possibly make some new ones. Hope to see you soon! Our staff will be ready to greet you at the museum and Smokey Bear may have a treat for you also!
