Beautiful night tonight as we took our brush truck to complete routine maintenance at our North Hall on Hwy 25 🚒

Good luck to all those in the woods looking to fill the freezer this time of year 🦌

We would like to remind everyone as we get into heating season, to have furnaces inspected for proper function and to keep flamable obstructions clear of portable heating sources, such as propane heaters and electric space heaters.

Finally, as we begin to experience snowfall and freezing temperatures, please slow down and exercise caution on roads as conditions dictate.

Good luck to the hunters and be safe as we dive into winter. n
