Attention all hunters! The first day of rifle season is Nov. 14. Before you venture out into the woods, why not stop and enjoy a good homemade breakfast? The Troutville Volunteer Rescue Squad will be hosting a hunter's breakfast on Saturday morning, Nov. 14, from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m.

We will be serving sausage gravy, biscuits and pancakes, and carry-out will be available. Donations are welcomed! Not a hunter, just an early bird? No problem! Breakfast is available to those passing by, too. Location TBD...just look for the signs! Stop by and see us -- we are located at 20 Sunset Ave in Troutville!
