Taps is played for the old year-- bells will ring in the New Year 2011!

Fincastle will hold the annual countdown to the New Year on Courthouse Square. Where else can you see a man with a shotgun on top of a court house? Crowds gather about 10- 15 minutes before midnight. Park along the street and join the revelers at the corner of Main and Roanoke Streets in the Town of Fincastle. Bells from the local churches ring in the NewYear as the shot gun fires several rounds.

Buchanan will celebrate the New Year at Trinity Episcopal Church in the downtown area where community residents and friends gather to ring in the New Year. Plentiful parking is available along Main Street. Trinity Episcopal Church  is located near the fire house.
