The third annual Faith & Blue event is all set for Friday afternoon in the parking lot at 140 North Jefferson Street, which could probably best be described as "the parking lot behind the post office and beside the cupcake place."
Planned are free food and drinks, activities for the kids, speeches, a Red Cross blood drive, as well as "public and law enforcement positive interaction."
The goal of the event is simple, according to co-organizer Bruce Vaughn.
"We just want to bring together our law enforcement community, our faith-based community and our citizens," he said. "When you bring these three groups together, most communities thrive."
This is the first year that the event will be held downtown in collaboration with First Friday. The inaugural Faith & Blue event was held at First United Methodist Church, while last year's Faith & Blue was at the new Carrington Woods government annex...

Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 89 and low of 72 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Mist for the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, patchy rain nearby in the evening, cloudy overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
