The 11th of March marked our 3rd birthday here at Vinton Today.  It was also a record breaking day for the most visits in one day!

Christmas was barely white this winter, but a few other more recent significant days have been decorated with white from above. Today -- the 281st birthday of President George Washington -- is also white, as six to seven inches of fresh snow covers the ground and delayed the start of school for two hours.
