Fairfax County: 49 Is Company, 50 Is A Crowd
Grandma might not have to sit home alone after all.
Good news for grandma. She might be getting that invitation to the family reunion after all. That is, unless the reunions or other large gatherings happen multiple times within 40 days.
A Fairfax County representative reached out to Patch on Tuesday to clarify a zoning proposal that could limit private gatherings in residents’ homes.
If your family reunions, weddings, birthday parties or other gatherings happen to have a guest list of 49 or fewer people, you can party away as frequently as you’d like, according to Public Information Officer Brian Worthy.
However, if you plan on having a guest list of 50 and up, well, then, your parties can only happen three times within a 40-day period, under a proposal being considered by Fairfax County authorities.
