The Commonwealth of Virginia has announced a Tax Free Holiday from May 25-31, 2009. There will be no sales tax charged during this time, on items that you would use to prepare your home for a Hurricane. It doesn't matter if you live in Virginia Beach, Alexandria, Winchester, or Blacksburg. You can save a few extra bucks on everything from bottled water and batteries, to generators, and more.

Included in this sale are First Aid Supplies and certain CPR Supplies, available through your friends at Newport Enterprises.
