Baby, it’s (finally) cold outside! Winter seemed to take a long time to arrive in Frederick
County this year. It seems colder temperatures are here to stay for a while. Most of us
have had our warm hats, scarves, boots and gloves at the ready.
But what about our pets? They can’t just don a muffler to protect themselves when the
weather turns extreme. The veterinarians at Yellow Springs Vet Clinic are here to help,
with tips on protecting dogs and cats from the wintertime chill, as well as ideas about pet
weight management and parasite control. See the story on Page 17.
For a lot of folks, wintertime means a fresh start with fitness. One of Frederick’s newest
fitness facilities, Barre East, is ready and waiting for all fitness levels to give the barre
in Everedy Square a try. Teachers there pride themselves on creating a “judgment-free
zone” for women to exercise, shape and tone their way to better health. Find out more
on Page 26.
Of course, wintertime also shepherds in Girl Scout cookie selling season in the county.
The cookie program doesn’t just provide us all with tasty little treats, it also teaches
girls valuable lessons about goal-setting and decision-making, not to mention money
management. Learn all about it, and score delicious cookie recipes on Page 14.
There’s a little something for everyone in this issue of the Frederick County Guide, just
as there’s always a little something for everyone all around the county. Enjoy!
