A quick reminder for drivers traveling on W Cherry Street. The area marked with cones is still being finished and is not ready for vehicles to drive over yet.

Please slow down and go around the cones when it is safe to do so. If traffic is coming from the opposite direction, please stop and wait until the way is clear before proceeding around the cones.

🍂 A Little Fall Cheer at Town Hall! 🎃

We want to take a moment to give a special thank you to our Town Clerk, Krystal Crenshaw, for sharing her creativity and talent with us this fall!

Krystal spent her own time creating these beautiful hand painted fall decorations for the windows of Town Hall, and we think they turned out absolutely wonderful! 🎃🍁

It is always special to see the personality and creativity of the people who make up our Town of Ackerman team shine through in our community.

This is something we should be proud of in Ackerman! 👏🚒🚔

On September 9, our local first responders and emergency agencies will come together for a Community Disaster Scenario to test their response and make sure we’re prepared when our community needs us most.

Preparedness matters, and training together makes us stronger! Thank you to everyone participating and working to keep Ackerman and Choctaw County safe! ❤️🇺🇸

Please note: E. Cherry Street will be temporarily closed during the exercise. This is a controlled training scenario and is not open to the public. Please do not enter, approach, or interfere with the exercise. All emergency services will remain operational, and please do not call 911 unless you have a real emergency.
