Join WMBD 31 News as we salute Roanoke! Bob Larson, Meg Marshall, Chuck Collins, Kurt Pegler and Lori Obert will broadcast the 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. newscast live!

As part of Heartland Salutes Roanoke, we'll bring you the story of 12 year old Samantha, a Roanoke resident and St. Jude patient with Leukemia. Samantha relies on the Red Cross for life saving treatment. We'll also tell you about two local businesses that have been open since the early 1900's. And we'll take a look at the fascinating exhibits in Roanoke's Hunzinger Museum.
