News : 6,000 FREE Stories, best deal around!

March 11, 2010 began like any other for some, but for us, it was a day of excitement.

We sent out our very FIRST story on this website and held our breath just HOPING someone would be out there to read it.

ALMOST 2 years later, this is our 6000th story!

With the help of almost 100 contributors, and the support of this awesome community, every day at 11:45 am your inbox tells you that you've got mail!

Every day at 11:45 am we breathe a sigh of relief and check another day off, take a break and start on the next day.

Every time we sit and discuss this adventure I still shake my head and say, "Wow! We are the luckiest folks around." We have a job we love, and an audience that's been so supportive, helpful and kind, what more could a girl ask for?

We can never thank all of you enough for, well, reading the website :)

To all of our advertisers, especially those that took a gamble on us to start with, thank you so much for your continued support!

To our newer advertisers, again, welcome aboard.

This is probably one of the most visited, if not THE most visited website it the county. Today we stand at 2,783,802 visits to this site, all without traditional advertising, and shared only by word of mouth and it's all thanks to you, our readers!

Vinton Today was just an idea that none of us knew for sure would work, but you have all made sure that it would.

Thanks once again for your continued support, kind words, stories and pictures, you my friends are the best!
