Your online guide to the June 26 issue of So Salem
We have so much coverage of Salem's Relay for Life that we couldn't fit it all into this week's print edition.
Such as this photo of Judy LePrade (left) and Charlene Lester, on the Medeco Security Locks team.
That's why each week we direct readers to come online for "more." Every day we're posting upwards of a dozen new items from Salem and western Roanoke County -- we think of this as Salem's digital daily newspaper. So here's our guide to this week's "online extras" -- starting with our coverage of Relay for Life, about which we have seven different posts.
But we also have:
* Hibachi opens at Lakeside Plaza
* What’s on the Salem Farmer’s Market this weekend (well, here's the link to last week's report; we'll post a new one as soon as we get it on Friday morning.)
* Henry’s pig gets another paint job
* Chance Crawford Foundation gives out more than $25,000
* Paparazzi photos of Salem people at Salem Red Sox game
* Photos of Fort Lewis Elementary fifth-grade trip
* More photos of Andrew Lewis students in the East Hill Cemetery
* Another photo of Adam Gordon's birthday
* More on the Divine Dance Center
* More photos of Miss Roanoke Valley at Salem Red Sox game
* More photos of military being honored at Salem Red Sox game
AND IN SPORTS . . .
* More photos of Salem Sabres at Virginia Tech tournament
* More photos of Salem Storm soccer
* More photos of Team Roanoke at the Battle of Williamsburg lacrosse tournament
* More photos of Salem teams at Dixie Youth Baseball / RAYSA Softball night
