Choose and cut weekend held

This past weekend marked yet another year in the county's Choose and Cut tradition, including opportunities for individuals of all ages to venture to different tree farms in the county, as well as to the annual craft fair.

On Tuesday, Alleghany Chamber Director Bob Bamberg said he had not spoken to local tree growers as of yet, but planned to do so at the end of the Choose and Cut season to get a feel of the season as a whole.
