In this week’s episode of “Freehling Finds,” Bill talks about a special project that kids can work on while they are social distancing. It’s called "Paint The Town."  The Fredericksburg Visitor Center has developed a series of postcards that kids can color. Kids can send their artistic masterpieces to friends or relatives with just a stamp.  If you would like to have your completed work displayed in the Fredericksburg Visitor Center window, just send the card to the Visitor Center at 706 Caroline St.; Fredericksburg, VA 22401. To order your postcard set, just go to VisitFred.com and request your cards, and we will drop them in the mail to you.
