Carroll County Parks purchased two Bigfoot costumes and are asking the community to participate in a contest to name them. Because of the attention that it is generating, the county is also using Bigfoot to promote wearing masks! On Friday, Bigfoot visited John Tanner Park. He wore a mask and campers did not have to worry about him getting too close because as we all know... Bigfoot is not only the hide and seek champion, he is great at social distancing too!

Ta'kayah Bradshaw (pictured) was one of the students who volunteered to help stuff the bags. Census workers started going door to door this week and must complete their work by September 30. Remind your community how they can participate in the Census - find out more here.

The Barrow County Emergency Services recruits stopped by the Historic Courthouse this week for new employee orientation. They are very protective of their flag; they get in trouble if someone takes it from them, so it goes with them wherever they go!

The ACCG staff offered a webinar this week to explain the ins and outs of the Phase I Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) monies.
