Robert Eberly bakes up sweet treats for the holidays
There are many things universally associated with Thanksgiving meals, but pie may be the star of the dessert table. To be responsible for such a crucial aspect of Thanksgiving is a lot of pressure. But, Robert Eberly, owner and manager of Country Village Bakeshop, takes his role in stride.

Coming home
Jarrod Smith grew up playing guitar for friends at parties in Bergton, 30 miles northwest of Harrisonburg. Bergton is a small town with a population a little more than 500, and its big event is the annual fair in August.
