Buncearoo
BUNCEAROO started as a bucket list inspired party with 6 of our favorite bands playing on a 20 x 20 stage in our backyard in 2010 and has evolved into regular shows now indoors at the Franklin Performing Art Center in Purcellville, VA. Our goal is to bring national touring acts that you would normally have to travel at least an hour into DC to see out to Western Loudoun County Virginia.

Rozanna’s Violins
Rozanna’s Designer Violins and accessories inspire creative possibilities for 21st century musicians. Children delight at the cool looking violins, and their cutting-edge appeal lends themselves to many alternative musical styles including jazz, country, pop & rock. We are committed to making our stringed instruments affordable for all. Our violins are available to rent, as well. STRINGS Magazine quoted Rozanna’s Violins as “Just right for budding violinists.”
VetFran
VetFran was born out of the desire of the late Don Dwyer Sr. – founder of The Dwyer Group, to say “thank you” to our veterans returning from the first Gulf War. After the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, IFA re-launched its campaign to assist U.S. veterans at that difficult time. Now, IFA’s VetFran program helps returning service members access franchise opportunities through training, financial assistance, and industry support. VetFran’s ranks have grown to include more than 400 franchise systems that voluntarily offer financial incentives and mentoring to prospective veteran franchise small business owners. Thousands of veterans have become franchise owners through VetFran and other programs.
