Photos: Happy Fourth of July!

The Buchanan parade started a little later at 6 p.m. this year and barely made it through the first of many rain drops sprinkling Botetourt County. Otherwise the area citizens lined the streets and a noticeable influx of politicians canvased the sidewalks and rode in the parade! It was a fun time and tonight the Buchanan  carnival finishes a busy and news filled week! Here's to another good holiday!

  1. Hello Peach Fans, Thank God for the rain, Fincastle peaches are coming in healthy this year. They are being sold at Ukrops again this year because they like to sell local produce. There is nothing like making peach ice cream and sitting back on the porch and being thankful.
