Your online guide to the June 19 issue of SWoCo
When it rains, it pours.
And lately, it's been pouring around here -- not just rain, but photos of the rain.
In this week's print edition of SWoCo, you'll find a page of photos from the recent storms. We've got lots of others we couldn't fit into print, though -- but we can show them off right here. Dan O'Brien has more photos from the June 5 storm and Michele Hancock has more photos from the June 9 storm. (That's another one of hers at left).
Those aren't the only online extras we have this week, of course. Here are some others:
* More photos from the Bernard L. Marie D-Day luncheon
* More photos from Cave Spring graduation
* More photos from Hidden Valley graduation -- and video, too!
* Roanoke County public schools annual report available online
* Photos of Miss Roanoke Valley at recent events
* More photos from the Hidden Valley High School art show
AND IN SPORTS . . .
* More photos of AFC Arsenal soccer in tournament at Tech
* More photos of Hidden Valley girls soccer in state title game.
