How to prepare your home or apartment and keep your pipes from freezing.

SALEM, Va. – On Thursday night, musicians took to the streets of downtown Salem in the hopes of spreading some cheer. The Virginia Highlands Bags and Pipes turned the space in front of Salem Fire Station No. Bagpipes aren’t the most isolation-friendly instrument, so they wanted to find a unique way to get together during these trying times. One of the drummers in the band is also a firefighter with the Salem Fire Department. The group regularly performs at events and ceremonies across the Roanoke Valley.
