🎃👻 Our team had a SPOOKtacular time at last night’s Trunk or Treat Henry Night Out event! 🍬🧡

We loved seeing everyone’s creative, fun, and amazing costumes! It was so great getting to connect with our community and share a little swag along the way.

We can’t wait to see our swag popping up all over the county! Even when we ran out of candy, the kids were still excited to grab pencils, stress balls, and bracelets. It’s safe to say the fun didn’t stop when the candy did! 😄

Thank you to everyone who came out and made the night so special. We loved being part of it! 🧡🎃

Don’t Wait for the Freeze! Get Winter-Ready Now!

Cold weather will be here before you know it! Now’s the perfect time to prepare your home and protect your pipes before temperatures drop.

🏠 Add these items to your winter prep checklist:
✔️ Stock up on pipe insulation
✔️ Cover outdoor faucets
✔️ Check for exposed pipes
✔️ Locate your main water shut-off valve in case of an emergency

A little preparation now can help prevent frozen pipes, costly repairs, and a major headache later! We’re here to help you stay prepared all winter long.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the lingering presence of an impressively dry airmass will support yet another day of high fire danger conditions across portions of north and central Georgia. Exercise extreme caution if planning to burn outdoors.

10/19/2026

🔥 HIGH FIRE DANGER – EXTENDED THROUGH 8 PM

The National Weather Service has extended today’s High Fire Danger Statement through 8 PM for our area.

Low humidity and dry vegetation are creating conditions where outdoor fires can start and spread quickly.

Although Georgia’s annual summer burn ban was lifted October 1, outdoor burning is strongly discouraged.

Dry conditions are expected to continue this week, so please use extra caution with anything that could spark a fire.
