The Town Improvement Society in Buchanan is having two Valentine-themed events at the Wilson Warehouse.
The first is Saturday, Feb. 7, from 4-6:30 p.m. for “Choc Till You Drop,” a huge chocolate buffet and silent auction. “Valentine’s Day Take-Out Dinners” will be available on Saturday, Feb. 14, from 3-6 p.m. These unique activities help raise needed funds for maintenance and preservation of the 1834 Wilson Warehouse, one of the few remaining 19th century commercial buildings in Botetourt County.
