    The New London Airport will hold its 43rd Annual Down-Home Fly In on Sunday from 8 a.m.  until everybody gets tired and goes home. You can fly into the airport, or you can drive there by turning south onto Va. 811, off U. S. 460, opposite New London Academy.

    The day begins with breakfast, from 8 to 10 a.m. which, according to Tom Richardson, a pilot, will consist of pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, biscuits and “maybe grits.”
    Lunch starts at noon and features hamburgers and hot dogs.

    Shoprite’s 30-year run in Moneta has come to an end.
    Lewis Creasey, who owns the supermarket located on Va. 122 south of Moneta, said he will close the store, “when I sell out of merchandise.”
    A precise closing date hasn’t been set, but “I know I’ll be closed out of here on Sept. 8,” Creasey said.

    Jann Sloper, of Floors and More, has been looking for ways to make good use of the extra space that they have since she and her husband, Bob, moved their flooring business to the 6C’s Shopping Center last year.
    Recently she got the idea of opening up space to three friends who have small businesses. She called them and they liked the idea. This also led to the decision to be open late for 2nd Fridays.

    The Bedford Rotary Club has a history of combining fundraisers with honors, according to David Herrick, the club’s president. The fundraisers generate money for various projects.

    Herrick said in past years they had “Roatary Roasts.” These were events where they recognized some individual and sold tickets to the events.
