Sylacauga Community Forum on Immigration

First Baptist Church of Sylacauga hosted State Representative Ben Robbins, Sate Senators Keith Kelly & Lance Bell, and a host of other officials representing the city and county to discuss local issues with immigration.

After officials provided their current assessments, the floor was opened to citizens for remarks, as well as a question & answer session. You can watch the video of the event below. It is also available, along with other community shows on the “TGOIS Channel” on the GCV-TV Network on Roku.

Happy Fall, Y’all!

Downtown Childersburg has been “dressed up” for the Fall season by First Lady Trisha Wesson’s crew of volunteers, featuring the work of “holiday helpers” like Glenda Holmes, Candy Mahaffey Jennifer Riddle, plus crews from the Street & Parks & Recreation Departments.

Enjoy, knowing that it won’t be long before their all back at working, turning downtown into “Christmasburg.”
