CORRECTION: Our notice for the Matthews Concert Band was incorrect! The concert is this FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13.

News About Town: During the December 9 Board of Commissioners meeting, the outgoing commissioners and mayor took time to reflect on their time on the town council. Mayor Paul Bailey, Commissioner Chris Melton, and Commissioner Kress Query each took a moment to highlight their accomplishments and share wisdom gained during their tenure. They were each presented with a framed image of Town Hall.
