celebrate the openings of three new businesses with ribbon cutting ceremonies.
Big Lots, located in the Battlefield Plaza Shopping Center at 1041 Edwards Ferry Road NE, will
kick off its grand opening celebration with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 8:45am. As part of the
grand opening festivities, Big Lots will make a donation of $1,500 to Balls Bluff Elementary

first store in Loudoun County. For more information, please visit www.biglots.com.
The ribbon cutting ceremony for Eagles Berth will take place at 3:00pm. Located at 19A Wirt

home décor items, including hand-woven baskets, pottery and blankets. For more information,

Finch Sewing Studio, “a place for modern sewists,” will hold its ribbon cutting ceremony at
4:00pm. Finch Sewing Studio is located at 102 Loudoun Street SW, just around the corner from
Eagles Berth. They offer modern sewing classes for all skill levels and sell fine fabrics, notions,
patterns and sewing tools. For more information, please visit www.finchsewingstudio.com.
