Your online guide to the October 3 issue of SWoCo
And now, the crowing touch:
Here's the highlight of last weekend's Miss Roanoke Valley pageant at Cave Spring High School -- the crowning of Lindsay Morris as the new Miss Roanoke Valley. And, as you'll see in Friday's issue of SWoCo, we have a photo gallery (actually multiple photo galleries) from the weekend's pageants.
This link will get you to all of them.
That's not the only place in this week's SWoCo, though, where we say to go online for "more" photos. As you've likely figured out by now, we update this site sometimes a dozen times a day -- so it's really a daily news site for Southwest Roanoke County.
And now, without further ado, here are the other places this week where we say to go online for more:
* What do you think of the proposed Clearbrook Wal-Mart? Vote in our online poll!
* Bill Cochran's column on the Cave Spring Optimist Club fishing tournament
* Funny photos of golf hijinks involving Cave Spring and Hidden Valley
* Hidden Valley Middle School football wins a close one
* Roanoke County crime maps updated at roanoke.com/datasphere
