The National Night Out Against Crime festivities on Tues, August 7 were a smashing success. Friends and neighbors hung out on Calhoun St. enjoying food and drinks from local merchants, while the kids checked out the fire truck, enjoyed the merry go round and free snowballs, and tried to stomp the giant palmetto bug.
A very special thanks to Cecile Tebo for organizing this event and to Code 3, Bud’s Broiler, the Calhoun Superette, and Robert’s Bar for hosting. See pictures at this link.
