After talking with MPO Vazquez at the First Responders Day at Tysons Corner Center, he invited me to cover the 2018 Santa Ride. A few days ago, this ride was done by officers from the Fairfax County Police Department, and the Town of Vienna police. Since I can count on one hand how many times I have even been inside a police station, this was a completely different experience for me! Moreover, this was the 30th anniversary of this event which meant a lot of participation from many officers on this cold morning.

Initially, we started at the Vienna Police station. The group of motorcycle officers from Fairfax arrived in Vienna. They stopped for breakfast and to pick up the Vienna officers that were joining. Afterwards, we all got into vehicles and made a caravan to schools in Tysons, Fairfax, and Reston. Being that this was my first time riding in a police car with lights and sirens, I enjoyed the experience! Since I was specifically assigned to the Vienna police, I made sure to focus on their officers. They were interacting with the school kids throughout the day passing out candy canes during their stops. Of course there were other Christmas characters from Santa, Mrs. Claus, Rudolf and Frosty that also came with us. Undoubtedly this would have been one of my favorite days during school just before Christmas break!

In addition to the schools, we also visited the Fairfax County Government Center. While the kids were excited to see the spectacle, all of the County supervisors were also supportive. To see more of the photos, please visit the Town of Vienna Facebook page.

State Theater – Falls Church, VA

They had a packed house last month for Legacy – a TEDxTysons event! After setting a goal of selling out the State Theater, in fact they needed all the seats available! At this point, the team really knows how to market their events. Also, they work hard to polish the speaker presentations creating a reputation of producing valuable content.

Given that I really enjoy watching the videos from these events, I am sure this contributes to their success. Whereas you can get the message by streaming them, it is an experience to be in the room. The TEDx ‘Ideas Worth Spreading’ tagline is even more tangible when you immediately start discussions at the event. Selfishly, I hope the photos help in that case as well. Stay tuned to their website for more events next year!

2018 Santa Fit4Mom

Tysons Corner Center

Last month I photographed the 2018 visit of Santa to the Fit4Mom group in Tysons Corner Center. Whenever he comes to workout and greet the kids, there is a mixed reaction. Occasionally the very young ones will not be as happy to see Santa, but the older ones can sometimes not get enough time with him! Since the Fit4Mom group will work out in the mall before they open, Santa has plenty of time to participate in their activities before heading down to the set for the day.

Occasionally some will be surprised to see Santa in early November. Nevertheless, Santa is already in full swing with his holiday wishes. As can be seen from these photos, the moms and kids that came in their Christmas outfits did not care about the calendar. Anytime Santa comes by is a good time to show how good you have been all year!
