About The Botetourt View
What about the print edition?
Our print edition publishes weekly. Botetourt subscribers will find it on Fridays in their regular Roanoke Times. Most non-subscribers will have it mailed to them as part of the Simply Savings advertising flier.
We also have free copies available at the Daleville Kroger, Mill Mountain Coffee & Tea in Daleville, the Hollins Kroger, the U.S. 460 Kroger and the U.S. 460 Food Lion.
If you'd like to guarantee delivery by becoming a subscriber, our circulation department can help you.
